Community Commitment

First Federal Bank & Trust celebrating 90 years logo

90 Years of Community Commitment

To celebrate our 90-year anniversary, we're donating a total of $90,000 to 10 nonprofit organizations each in Sheridan and Yellowstone Counties. That's a grand total of $180,000 going to back to the communities we serve.

If we have donated to your organization within the last 3 years, you are eligible to win. Eligibility is at First Federal's discretion.

The Mutual Bank difference.

Being a mutual bank gives us the unique opportunity to give back. We don't pay stockholders - we pay our communities. By banking with First Federal, you help us invest in the places we call home.

Charitable Contribution Requests

To request a general donation for your organization, please submit the form below to our ALCO Charitable Contribution Committee. We maintain gifts year-round to support community missions.
