GIVING MISSION STATEMENT

FIRST BANK FINANCIAL CENTRE (FBFC) is committed to improving the well being of the communities we serve by supporting financial literacy programs for our youth; quality of life initiatives for our elderly citizens; educational and vocational programs for the underprivileged; and health and human services.

GUIDELINES

We receive hundreds of requests for donations every year. As that number increases, we want to ensure we continue our tradition of community involvement, as well as comply with Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations. Therefore, we developed the guidelines below:

  • Requests are limited to non-profit organizations that operate in the markets served by FBFC and are located within a 10-mile radius of an FBFC branch. 
  • Requests are limited to support youth financial literacy programs, elderly quality of life initiatives, underprivileged educational and vocational programs, and health and human services. No requests will be granted for political purposes; political groups are not eligible for contributions. 
  • Requests are limited to organizations, not individuals. Organizations applying for a contribution must be tax exempt. If the applying organization receives federal or state funding, it is ineligible. The local level of a national or state organization will be considered for funding. 
  • Only requests for specifically identified items or programs will be considered. No contributions will be granted for the discretionary, non-specific use of an organization or for operating expenses. 
  • Bank contributions are not generally more than $10,000, however, exceptions can be made for certain situations. 
  • Requests must be submitted by the first business day of each month. Applicants are notified, by phone or by mail, of action taken on requests within 30 days of application deadline. 

PROCEDURES

Organizations should complete an Application for Contribution, which is available at any of our FBFC branches. The completed application may be submitted via mail or email to:
