SFB Employees Grant Over $5,000 to Local Organizations

At Security Financial Bank (SFB), we believe in giving back to the community. To recognize those employees who give their time, talent, and service to causes important to them, SFB established a Volunteer Grant Program. This year, $5,560 in grants were awarded to eligible charitable organizations in the name of an SFB employee.

Employees who volunteer a minimum of 50 hours per calendar year can designate a $250 grant to the charitable organization of their choice. If the employee volunteers in a leadership capacity for that organization, the grant increases to $350.

"SFB employees love that our bank has always supported volunteering in our communities. With the addition of the grant option, this gives everyone a chance to amplify the impact of the causes they support, said Patty Chambers, director of human resources. "The team has really gotten behind this and it's also fun to see the variety of organizations where people choose to donate their time. It's a win-win all the way around!"

In 2025, SFB donated to 20 organizations including Ave Maria Academy, Beacon House, Beautify Augusta Committee, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Christ Lutheran School, EC Co. Friends of the Fair, Eau Claire Community Humane Association, Faith Lutheran Church, Girl Scouts of the NW Great Lakes, Hope Village, LE Phillips CDC, Lucky Paws Midwest, Pepin County Humane Society, River Falls Junior Bowling, Sojourner House, Stepping Stones of Dunn Co, Synergy Arts Alliance, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and The YMCA in its employees' names. 

Year-to-date SFB employees volunteered 3,620 hours with 180 organizations. To learn more about how you can be a part of the SFB team, view our careers page: Careers | Security Financial Bank
