Community Partnership

Employees are encouraged to support organizations in our communities that enhance the quality of life. Many of these 501c3 organizations depend significantly on volunteers and donations. Throughout the year Prairie State Bank & Trust also hosts several different events at our locations to invite the community to help us in giving back. Below are just a few of the organizations throughout our areas that we work to give back to. 

Volunteers

In addition to providing financial support, our team is willing to serve and assist with community projects and financial education or other educational needs. If your organization could benefit from our volunteers, let us know. Prairie State Bank & Trust works to collect donations of merchandise and product packages for nonprofits in the communities that we serve. Requests should be sent in writing with an outline of the items requested and how they will be used to marketing@psbank.net.
