Education was again a major focus of the bank’s support, with significant contributions to the University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Pacific University, Alaska Native Heritage Center educational outreach, the Alaska Sealife Center and the University of Alaska Foundation.
President Betsy Lawer of First National said, “We believe in Alaska that means we believe in supporting those communities where our employees work and live. That’s one reason why, since we started serving this great state nearly a century ago, we’ve been giving to the causes and organizations that are important to our fellow Alaskans.”
