First State Bank, a community bank serving communities in Iowa since 1912, continued its tradition of giving by donating more than $40,000 to local charities, events and organizations throughout 2024.
The bank’s support encompassed a wide range of initiatives, education, community development, county fairs, arts and culture, student sporting events, and more. These efforts not only benefited the organizations receiving the support, but also deepen the bank’s relationships with the communities.
“First State Bank is committed to supporting the local communities we serve,” said Steve Russell, president and CEO of First State Bank. “As an Iowa-based bank, nothing is more important than giving back to the local nonprofits, especially our schools. We want to help ensure students have access to quality education and the opportunities they need to succeed. This support not only benefits students but also strengthens our community by helping to develop our next generation of community leaders.”
First State Bank has branches in Agency, Brooklyn, Grinnell, Lynnville, Montezuma, Sully, and New Sharon. The bank provides new account services and loan products for commercial, development, construction, real estate, agricultural, and consumer lending, as well as offering drive-up banking, digital banking options, debit cards, and ATM access.
