2012 Ballot Results
First Federal was founded in 1922 to provide a secure, locally-owned financial institution for our friends, families and neighbors. This community-based philosophy continues to drive the services and programs we provide today--and it's why we asked our customers to help us allocate $40,000 to local nonprofits this year through our Customer Ballot Program.
Since 1999, First Federal has donated more than $1.5 million to Yamhill County nonprofits through our various charitable giving programs, $520,000 of which you've helped us distribute through Customer Ballots.
