First Fed Foundation (formerly First Federal Community Foundation), a private charitable corporation, began making grants in 2015, thanks to a generous gift valued at $12 million from the parent company of First Fed, when the bank was converted to a publicly traded company.

This gift underscored First Fed’s commitment to continue the bank’s more than 100-year tradition of giving back to the communities it serves. In that same spirit, First Fed Foundation is committed to creating broad impact that benefits low- to moderate-income, disadvantaged, and/or marginalized persons or families in the Washington State communities where First Fed, the Foundation’s sole donor, operates full-service branches, including Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap and Whatcom Counties, and the city of Bellevue.
