Dakota First
Putting Dakota First
We want to see our communities thrive, which is why we go out of our way to find ways to support them. Our employees invest hundreds of local volunteer hours each year. First Dakota financially supports an extensive range of community groups, organizations and causes. Through good times and bad, we are here to help you Account For Your Dreams.
Operation Dakota First
Operation Dakota First was created as a stimulus package for local businesses impacted by the response to COVID-19. First Dakota employees were given up to $148 each (a dollar for each year we’ve been in business) to spend at businesses in their communities. The economic boost was instant.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, First Dakota and Amanda Starzl!!! We are so grateful for your support and passion to support local. Our hearts are full!!
