Every dollar your non-profit raises has a purpose. It supports your mission, fuels your programs, and strengthens the community you serve. But there’s something many organizations don’t always think about. Is your bank also supporting your non-profit the best it can?

Because your banking relationship matters just as much as your fundraising. At TruBank, we believe your money should keep working for your mission even when it’s in your account.

Keeping It Local

As a community bank, TruBank is built on a simple idea: local dollars should stay local. That means the deposits we hold help fund loans to small businesses, farmers, families, and community projects right here at home. It’s how we help support the same neighborhoods your organization serves every day. Every $1 deposited with us, part of that money goes back out to your non-profit. The impact doesn’t pause - it multiplies – with TruBank.

A Partner Who Understands Community Work

Non-profits operate differently. You’re balancing donations, grants, events, and tight budgets all while staying focused on your mission. TruBank’s non-profit checking account works for both small non-profits and large non-profits. We can help balance the need for cash while maximizing yield with laddered CDs so your money with us can grow. Need all your accounts in one place? We can put your non-profit account into your personal online banking, so you don’t need separate logins to manage everything. We can also set up others in your group can view only.

More Than a Bank, We are Part of the Community

TruBank is proud to invest in the same communities our customers care about and give financially to local events, schools, nonprofits, and initiatives that make a difference. TruBank has donated to more than 200 different local organizations in the past several years. Non-profit groups such as the National Balloon Classic, Des Moines Metro Disc Golf Club, Des Moines Metro Opera, and more all benefit and enjoy their banking relationship with TruBank.

Need someone with financial knowledge on your board? TruBank staff love to volunteer and can provide time and talent to your organization which can be more useful at times than donations. When you bank with TruBank, you’re aligning with a partner that shares your commitment to building stronger communities.

A Simple Shift with a Bigger Impact

Moving your non-profit’s business checking account might seem like a small change, but it can create a ripple effect. It’s a way to ensure your organization’s dollars continue to support local growth, even between projects and programs. And that’s something worth considering.
