The mission of First Option Bank’s corporate giving is to help meet the needs of our communities by supporting local nonprofit organizations that improve overall quality of life in the markets we serve. As a community bank, we proudly sponsor events that help build stronger communities, celebrate our communities’ success, and support local charities. We do so through direct contributions, event sponsorships, and our volunteer efforts.
Although there are more deserving charitable organizations in our communities than we are able to support, we make every effort to assist as many qualifying organizations as possible. First Option Bank receives hundreds of requests for donations each year. Regrettably, we will be unable to accept or respond favorably to donation requests that do not align with our mission, including but not limited to:
• Financial or in-kind support for individuals
• Scholarship programs
• General operating expenses
• Pageants
• Conferences/seminars
• Sports programs
• Charities outside the markets we serve
