Giving back to the community … a philosophy we embrace every day. Washington Federal understands what it means to be a good corporate citizen. It’s at the heart of everything we do. Our belief in giving back and taking an active role in our community is not a single donation once a year. It’s a philosophy we embrace every day through our Washington Federal Charitable Foundation, our Employee Matching Program, our Customer Choice Awards and our Scholarship Fund. In essence, we annually contribute 10% of our after-tax profits to community development and nonprofit organizations all around our hometown.

Our fundamental belief is that it’s up to all of us to make our piece of the world the best it can be: a place with an open heart, an understanding spirit and an unfailing conviction that what matters the most is what we do for others. As we continue to grow so will our commitment to the community. It was Winston Churchill who once said “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” That’s what it’s all about for us … giving back.
