Customer Ballot

About Customer Ballots

The Customer Ballot Program is currently closed. 

First Federal’s Community Giving programs support dozens of local groups in the Yamhill County area. Of the $3.2 million First Federal has donated through charitable giving since 1999, $880,000 has been given through the Customer Ballot Program to specific groups chosen by you!

The First Federal Customer Ballot program runs month-long in February each year and customers help us determine how to donate. This year, 95 Yamhill County nonprofits were on the ballot and will share $40,000 based on our customers' votes.
