Helping those who help others

TFNB Your Bank For Life partnering with Central Texas Nonprofit Organizations to better the community.

About Charity Champions

Charity Champions are nonprofit organizations chosen by TFNB Your Bank For Life employees after being nominated by the community. Recipients get an awareness marketing campaign and leadership training at no charge to the nonprofit.

The awareness campaign begins with a radio interview by the voice of the Baylor Bears, John Morris, and an on-field presentation at McLane Stadium in front of thousands of Central Texans during a Baylor football game.

After football season ends, 360 Solutions brings Charity Champions recipients together for world-class leadership development training during the first and second quarters of every year. Learn more.

What Charity Champions are saying:

Our recognition as a Charity Champion led the Foundation to apply for and receive a $84,895 grant from the Cooper Foundation for the Men of Color program development and to address retention and completion rates among students of color. This grant will enable the college to hire the first paid coordinator for the program beginning in October 2019. In June, the Foundation also received a major gift from a donor to establish the endowed Alvin Pollard, Sr. Men of Color Scholarship for exemplary students in the program.

The day that we went on the Julie Hays show, we had like a 1000 more visitors to our website that night. It's definitely elevated our message. It's also made more people in the community aware of our mission and how they could be a part of it.
