    Celebrate How do you Bank?
    • As a nonprofit, your focus is on making a difference, not making a profit. And yet, you need to make every dollar count. First Independent's team of qualified nonprofit financial experts is ready to help you make the most of your donations, grant allocations, government funding, and so much more. We know a 501(c) from a 509(a) and a tax form 990.

    • A Mission to Support Nonprofits

      First Independent's mission includes a commitment to improve the economic conditions and quality of life in the communities we serve. We interpret that to mean investing in nonprofits to increase their capacity to improve and change lives through health and human services, education, the arts, economic development and more.

       

      First Independent has designed specific solutions - including products, services and pricing that enhance the cash and investment positions of nonprofit organizations - to help create, manage and increase an organization's financial position and enhance its ability to make a difference.
