WaFd Bank has allowed me the support and opportunities to impact this great place (Pocatello/ Chubbuck area). WaFd Bank aligns with many of my personal values, from the Washington Federal Foundation grants, to supporting me in serving Pocatello as a city councilman. The support of the bank and my team help me to positively impact the areas in which we live and do business. Change or impact is best made from within the community. Thank you WaFd for your continued support!”

“I recently joined the Washington Federal Foundation Board, and I feel so fortunate for the opportunity to be involved in giving back to the amazing non-profits within our communities. I love being able to support the non-profits that do so much good in our communities for our under-resourced community members, it is such an amazing feeling. I love working for a company that has a focus on giving back, and encouraging their employees to be a part of it as well.”
