We are only as strong as the communities we serve. As such, we are committed to financially supporting and reinvesting in the places we call home through philanthropy and community partnerships. Each year, First Interstate commits two percent of pretax earnings to charitable organizations across our foot print. These funds are distributed through our Foundation and local markets using a collaborative decision making process which addresses the needs of our communities.
Our partnerships encompass many types of organizations— including community sponsorships, support of business and professional associations, as well as nonprofit organizations in arts and culture, civic and community, education, economic development, human services and sustainability.
