Community

Investing in our community.

We succeed when the communities we serve succeed. We are deeply committed to the prosperity of the places where we conduct business. That’s why giving back to our community has always been an important part of who we are. Our employees are involved as leaders and volunteers in local organizations throughout the area, and we support charitable causes with thousands of dollars in donations and sponsorships every year.

Below is a brief look at a few ways we have been able to support the communities we are fortunate to serve. 

Every holiday, First Bank of Montana takes donations of

non-perishable items for local food pantries.

All non-perishable items donated received will be matched

by the bank during the holiday season!

*Monetary donations are not matched. 

 Items will be collected at your local branch

this DECEMBER 2025.
