That's why giving back to our communities has always been an important part of who we are. Our employees are involved as leaders and volunteers in local organizations throughout the area, and we support charitable causes with thousands of dollars in donations and sponsorships every year.

Donation Request

Hands of Hope is the corporate donation campaign of Western Security Bank. We contribute to improving the quality of life of our community members through direct giving to organizations that serve the low-to-moderate income residents of Yellowstone, Carbon and Golden Valley counties.

It is our goal to make donations that will result in significant positive impacts for these organizations. At this time our Hands of Hope donations include a $15,000 donation and a significant advertising package.

Applications are accepted from September until November when four organizations will be selected as recipients for the coming year. If you would like your organization to be considered for our Hands of Hope donation, please complete and submit the application below.
