FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government
We are excited to announce that, on Giving Tuesday 2022, First Interstate employees and the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation donated nearly $20,000!
Employees who donated $25 or more to a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit on November 29, 2022, could double their impact by submitting for an employee match. In response, 42 employees gifted $8,795.87, which the Foundation matched dollar for dollar, bringing the total to $17,591.74.
Additionally, participating employees were entered into a drawing for two additional $1,000 grants to their supported nonprofit. The winning nonprofits are:
- Deb McMillens Parrotheads in Grimes, Iowa
- Laramie Foster Closet in Laramie, Wyoming
That's $19,591.74 to make a difference in the communities we call home!
Commitment to Community is engrained in First Interstate's identity. From volunteerism to monetary donations, our employees lead through service and give generously year-round. Because they live our values, 40 different organizations benefited.
