Partnerships

We’re proud to work with our strategic partners
  • Helping educate children.
  • Honoring our veterans.
  • Providing affordable housing.

We're invested in
our communities. 

We are passionate about giving back.  These are just a few of the groups we work with.

Honor Flight

First Bank is a proud sponsor of the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight (GSLHF) program. Since 2014, First Bank has partnered with the Greater St. Louis Honor Flight and the St. Louis Blues for “First Bank’s Tribute to the Greatest Generation.” GSLHF honors our veterans by providing an all-inclusive trip to Washington, DC to visit the memorials built to commemorate their service to our country. First Bank is honored to support such programs that support our nation’s veterans.

Junior Achievement

Junior Achievement is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.  JA’s programs – in the core content areas of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy – ignite the spark in young people to experience and realize the opportunities and realities of work and life in the 21st century.

First Bank is a proud sponsor of the real-world personal finance and business management programs provided through the Junior Achievement chapters in St. Louis, Orange County, Southern California, Northern California, San Diego, and Sacramento.

First Bank, along with other sponsors, is able to provide financial education programs through JA Biztown, JA Finance Park, and JA-in-a-Day at low, reasonable costs to school districts. Each year, our employees provide hundreds of volunteer hours, serving on the Board, teaching financial literacy programs at the various JA locations, and assisting in securing funds for ongoing JA programs.
