committed to making a difference

Community investment plan initiatives

Through our Community Investment Plan with the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, we committed (beginning January 1, 2018) to invest $1.7 billion over five years in our local communities. The plan includes opening eight new banking centers in low-to-moderate-income communities, increasing philanthropy and establishing an advisory board for the plan’s governance. Together, with this five-year plan, we can make a difference.

The initiatives of our Community Investment Plan align with our ALIVE strategy, which focuses on:

To support the efforts around our commitments, First Financial worked with National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) to establish an advisory board. The advisory board provides oversight and accountability to the plan, as well as technical and strategic advice regarding community development efforts. Together, the teams define the work the bank will do to support, engage, and strengthen local neighborhoods and small businesses. Read the full press release, here.

In accordance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), First Financial Bank is required to maintain and, upon request, make available for public inspection, a complete CRA Public File, which includes information about the Bank's branch and ATM locations, our products and services, regulatory performance evaluations of our record of meeting community credit needs, and other information. Interested parties can request to review the data provided at any of our banking centers. In addition, if a document hard copy is needed, a request can be made by emailing CommunityDevelopment@bankatfirst.com.
