FNBO Launches Impact by FNBO to Renew Commitment to Building Strong Communities 

First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO) (fnbo.com) recently announced that it has renewed its longstanding commitment to build stronger communities with the launch of Impact by FNBO, the bank’s new community and corporate social-responsibility strategy. This new strategy will be leveraged across the bank’s seven-state footprint, including Nebraska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, and Texas. 

Impact by FNBO will focus on four community goals to provide the greatest impact on the long-term success of the bank’s communities: improve the availability of affordable housing and the vitality of disinvested neighborhoods; help entrepreneurs build new businesses and create jobs; create pathways to economic prosperity for individuals; and positively impact the environment. FNBO will work toward these four goals by making investments and delivering solutions across five operational areas: 

• Supporting community partners that deliver impactful solutions to support the bank’s four goals through investments in the form of donations, grants, impact investments, and employee volunteer hours. 
• Financing loans and investments to community partners and underserved individuals and businesses. 
• Engaging employees and members of the community so that they can contribute to the long-term success of their communities. 
• Purchasing goods and services to support bank operations from local, small, and disadvantaged businesses. 
• Engaging in proactive efforts to conserve energy, water, and waste so as to meet the needs of today without compromising future generations’ access to natural resources. 

First National Bank of Omaha is a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska. FNBO will continue to track and report its community investments and the impacts they achieve through its annual impact report.
