Rooted in relationships. Driven by purpose.
Celebrating 35 years of impact through First Interstate Bank and the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation.
At First Interstate Bank, relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We meet people where they are, helping them get to where they want to be. Today, we’re proud to celebrate a major milestone: $100 million in total giving through First Interstate and the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation since 1990. This achievement reflects 35 years of purposeful investment in the communities we serve.
On November 15, 2025, we launched a 100-day celebration to honor this accomplishment. From six initial grants totaling $47,500, the Foundation has grown into a trusted partner for change, contributing more than $7 million in 2024 alone. Our journey has always been about building strong relationships that create lasting impact.
We invest in causes that matter—financial literacy, youth development, disaster relief, and nonprofit capacity building, to name a few. Through signature programs, we address immediate needs while fostering long-term solutions rooted in connection and trust.
