Community Commitment
As a member-owned institution, First Tech is committed to helping our members think forward and live financially strong. One way we do that, is by helping to keep our communities strong too. When our communities are strong, it makes all of our lives better. But it takes many of us working together today to prepare for a better tomorrow. We call it living forward.
Through our Live Forward initiative, we’re committed to supporting organizations and activities that help contribute to our community’s success. There are many excellent organizations committed to bettering lives, but First Tech partners with organizations that specifically work to:
- Eradicate hunger, illiteracy, and child abuse
- Prevent and treat childhood diseases
- Help communities live environmentally responsible
We believe these issues are fundamental barriers to a community's success. When a child goes hungry, is critically ill, is abused, cannot read or manage money, it hurts all of us. Through our community partners, we focus our time, energy and monetary resources on supporting events and activities that help our communities live forward. We invite you to join us!

FAQ’s
What is the difference between a sponsorship and a corporate partnership and which should my organization request?
A sponsorship is when First Tech will receive stated benefits in exchange for its monetary support of your event or organization. Benefits can include name recognition, logo exposure, onsite promotional opportunities, and more. Conversely, a corporate partnership is simply a donation with no expectation that First Tech will receive benefits in exchange for its monetary support. You may apply for either or both types of support by completing the appropriate forms. Receiving support for one does not exclude your organization from receiving support for the other.
What if my event or activity does not meet one of the areas outlined above?
Although we recognize and value the thousands of organizations committed to addressing a wide variety of community needs, First Tech has committed to focusing on key community issues in the hopes of stimulating real and lasting change. We believe that by focusing our resources on select issues, we will have a greater impact on the communities we serve.
Does First Tech ever sponsor community activities or trade association events that are not charitably focused?
Absolutely! First Tech has a rich history of supporting community events and activities that are not charitably focused. If you would like to request sponsorship for a non-charitably focused event, please contact Chylon Pappas, our Business and Community Development Specialist at 503.350.3393.
