Our business banking for non-profits includes:


  • Nonprofit Checking account which offers no minimum balance, no maintenance fees, and earns tiered interest, so the higher your balance the more you earn. A non-interest bearing account is also available.
  • Services that give you more control over your money, so more of your revenues can go toward your mission.
  • Personalized attention and service, so you can find solutions that meet your needs.
  • Mobile and online banking, so your team members can bank on your schedule, even if your mission requires you to travel.
  • Remote deposit of checks, allowing you to deposit donations without having to come into a financial center.
  • Merchant services, allowing you to accept donations through a variety of payment options.
  • Certificates of Deposit, so you can earn a competitive interest rate on your money and make the greatest impact on the greatest number of people.

Our Commitment to Non-profits

At First Heritage, community matters! Non-profit organizations bring tremendous value to our community, and we have fostered deep relationships with foundations, houses of worship, and 501(c)(3)s throughout Pennsylvania. We know your priority is to your mission and the people you serve. That’s why our priority is to tailor our banking services to your needs. And, your community is our community, which is why we volunteer, donate, and work to support over 100 organizations throughout Pennsylvania as a team and as individuals.

What Our Customers are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it. Find out how we have made a measurable difference to this organization: 
 
"There were many mergers in the banking industry, and as a result we experienced a change in the relationship we had with our existing bank. We felt overlooked and disconnected. As a small non-profit, we thrive on the close relationships we build in our community, not just with our participant families and volunteers, but also with our corporate supporters and service providers. We wanted convenience, but more importantly we wanted the comfort and security that comes from having a meaningful relationship with our bank. We were warmly welcomed at FHT."

Vet Your Potential Bank with These Five Questions

When choosing a banking partner, we believe it’s good business — and responsible stewardship — to vet the institution with questions concerning their commitment and footprint in the community:
 
  • What is the bank’s community history? Are they local lenders with deep banking experience?
  • What non-profits, causes and foundations does the bank support?
  • Are they interested in becoming knowledgeable about and supportive of your foundation?  Do they respect your passion for your cause?
  • What degree of trust has the bank developed in the community? Is their reputation equal to their core principles?
  • Does your banking partner have the investment tools and mechanisms in place to earn your organization money? Is there a competitive return on assets and on the principal?

Personalized Solutions

At First Heritage, we work hard to support non-profits and foundations in a variety of ways, and we work to offer personalized solutions. We get to know the foundations we support. The non-profit organizations in our communities have come to rely on and trust First Heritage for their financial needs, and we take that trust very seriously.
