Community Commitment

First Citizens Bank has demonstrated its commitment to outstanding community leadership and citizenship for more than 100 years. This is evident through a tradition of involvement that includes philanthropy, leadership and volunteer support of thousands of initiatives.

As part of our commitment to the communities we serve, First Citizens champions financial literacy initiatives, such as the Bank at School program in West Virginia.

Community involvement is a vital part of First Citizens' success in all of the markets we serve. We believe it's part of our corporate responsibility to give back to the communities we call home, and it's integral to our business development efforts.

The majority of our community efforts fall into one of the following four categories:

• Economic and Community Development
• Education, with an emphasis on Financial Literacy
• Health and Human Services
• Arts and Culture

We support these areas through the contribution of both talent and money. We differentiate our support of education by focusing on financial literacy. To that end, we champion hundreds of financial literacy initiatives throughout our markets.

Our volunteers' time and talent are among the most valuable contributions we make to our communities.

First Citizens Community Awards Program

To recognize associates who demonstrate stellar volunteer service in their communities, we've launched the First Citizens Community Involvement Awards program. This program rewards well-deserving associates for their tireless efforts on behalf of the communities in which they live and work.

Community involvement is a vital part of First Citizens' success in all of the markets we serve. We pledge to uphold our corporate responsibility to help make our communities better places to live.
