Family Promise of North Idaho receives $25K from First Interstate Bank’s

COEUR d'ALENE — Family Promise of North Idaho recently received $25,000 from First Interstate Bank and the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation as part of their third Annual Believe in Local grant campaign. 

These funds will go toward providing dedicated guidance and support to families with children who need temporary food and shelter while seeking permanent employment and affordable housing.

“We are incredibly appreciative of First Interstate’s generosity and support,” said Cindy Wood, executive director. 

First Interstate Bank launched the Believe in Local campaign in 2022. Each year, 40 nonprofits across the bank’s 14-state footprint receive a $25,000 gift in support of their mission. Family Promise of North Idaho was nominated by local First Interstate employees and selected from a pool of over 550 submissions.

“Giving back to the places we call home is central to who we are as a community bank,” said Carolyn Deitz, administrative assistant in Coeur d'Alene.
