Community Commitment

The Mutual Bank difference.

About the Program

In 2024, First Federal invested in our community by donating $5,000 every month to a non-profit organization in Yellowstone County. When you bank with us, you're helping us give back to place we call home.

About the Program

In 2024, we held four Dining for a Cause events to help boost business for our Main Street restaurants and benefit Sheridan County nonprofit organizations. First Federal matched the restaurant's proceeds from each event up to $10,000 and donated these funds to various nonprofits.
