First Savings Charitable Foundation
First Savings Bank along with First Savings Financial Group has a rich history of community involvement in Southern Indiana. That commitment was recently strengthened with the establishment of the First Savings Charitable Foundation. The Foundation was formed in October, 2008, coinciding with the conversion of First Savings Bank to a stock organization.
First Savings Charitable Foundation focuses on three primary areas: Education, Economic Development and Community Vitality. The focus on Education can be furthered defined as skills development to include job entry skills for the new economy workers and the retraining of unemployed or underemployed workers. For pre-K through grade 12 the focus will be on math, science and technology programs. Higher education will focus on scholarships and programs for business, finance and management. Under Economic Development, the Foundation will support programs that promote job growth in the community along with providing resources to attract new businesses and cultivate the expansion of existing commerce. Community Vitality will address issues involving health and human services, the arts, public safety and community leadership development.
First Savings Charitable Foundation will fund only 501(c) (3) organizations and those with “public charity” status or its equivalent. There will be no funding to political groups, fraternal organizations, sectarian or religious activities, family foundations or individuals. The Foundation will not provide funding for operational expenses. The target area will be those communities in which First Savings Bank and its related entities operate.
