Community has always been at the heart of Dream First Bank. For more than a century, we’ve believed that being part of a place comes with a responsibility to strengthen it. That means doing far more than meeting financial needs. It means showing up, rolling up our sleeves, and investing in the people, families, and businesses that make our towns thrive.
This includes bike drives, school supply drives, coat drives, and other hands-on projects led by our team. These aren’t just events to us. They’re opportunities to support neighbors, fill real gaps, and make sure people feel seen and supported. You can explore many of our community initiatives here, through our #RiseUp4Families Program.
Our definition of community also extends beyond geography. The entrepreneurial, agricultural, and commercial businesses across Kansas and Oklahoma are the backbone of the region’s economy. They’re innovators, builders, and risk-takers, and supporting them is a vital part of strengthening the communities they power.
Engagement and Education Efforts
We work hard to help people and businesses grow, learn, and adapt. Some of our recent educational and community-focused efforts include:
- Beginning and advanced QuickBooks seminars
- AgPhD educational sessions
- Family business succession planning workshops
- Marketing differentiation training
- Employee Retention Tax Credit seminar
- Human resources and workforce development sessions
- AI in Business Seminars
Programs like these help business owners and families build skills, navigate change, and strengthen their futures.
Our commitment runs deep. Over 100 years deep. And that responsibility is something we take seriously. Not everyone banks with Dream First Bank, but everyone deserves access to tools, knowledge, and support that can move their dreams forward.
Rooted in Service Across Kansas and Oklahoma
As we continue to grow across both states, we remain committed to giving back through financial contributions, community partnerships, educational opportunities, and countless hours of employee volunteer service.
Because at the end of the day, community banking isn’t just about transactions. It’s about relationships, trust, and showing up when people need you most.
