Local Impact

Getting Involved and Giving Back

At Idaho First Bank, we do things differently. Our team is constantly finding new ways to integrate ourselves within the communities we serve and to get involved with volunteer efforts, local organizations, charitable causes, and community events.

Sponsorship and Donation

Put the Power of Idaho First Behind Your Event

Giving back is what we do. Every year, as a part of our “People First, Community First” mentality, our team participates in a company-wide Community First Week, where we close our bank locations early and encourage team members to volunteer their time to organizations that speak to them and better their hometowns.

If you’d like to be a part of Community First Week, or are seeking donations or sponsorship for your own event, please read the donation guidelines below and contact us to get started.

All donation requests must be submitted electronically via our online application or in writing at least 30 days prior to the event.
Multiple requests per year are discouraged and seldom supported.

Funding Criteria

IFB generally does not provide funding to:

Individuals
Annual appeals/general operating support
