On National Nonprofit Day, First Foundation Bank acknowledges the impactful work of nonprofits nationwide. These organizations dedicate their time, resources, and passion to enhancing our communities. Proudly standing beside them, we strive to contribute to community well-being and growth.

First Foundation Bank is, first and foremost, a relationship bank that prioritizes success for our clients and the communities we serve. We recognize that success goes beyond financial measures and encompasses our positive influence on the community. Through collaborations with local organizations, we aim to address various social issues like food insecurity, economic development, and affordable housing.

Our corporate social responsibility is exemplified through our Supporting Our Communities program. This initiative provides financial support and volunteer time to nonprofits addressing critical community needs. By engaging with these organizations hands-on and strategically, we ensure that our efforts have a meaningful impact that is aligned with our communities' real challenges. Our dedicated employees play a crucial role in serving on boards, committees, or in advisory capacities, utilizing their professional skills to advance the critical missions of these nonprofits. 

Our partnerships with local organizations are intended to promote community growth and sustainability, particularly in low- and moderate-income areas. Focus areas include small business development, entrepreneurship, affordable housing access, and financial literacy education. First Foundation Bank remains committed to enhancing the quality of life in the communities we serve. Through strategic collaborations with nonprofit organizations, we aspire to make a positive difference and support their missions within the communities we serve.

As we observe National Nonprofit Day, we reaffirm our commitment to backing the invaluable work of nonprofits. First Foundation Bank believes thriving communities are essential for a prosperous and sustainable future. We express deep gratitude to these organizations that inspire us with their dedication and unwavering commitment. Your work is essential, and we are honored to be your partner in effecting positive change.
