Northwest FCS does more than just lend money and sell crop insurance. We're a cooperative devoted to our purpose
of improving the lives of our customers and employees, the communities where we work and raise our families and
the Northwest agriculture, food and fiber industries. In pursuit of our purpose, we have a focus on stewardship and
continue to invest in the next generation, helping them to build successful businesses and careers in agriculture,
forestry and fishing. And we proudly embrace our social responsibility to support rural communities with volunteer
hours and financial contributions to causes that improve lives.
We are honored to work with farmers and ranchers who successfully manage businesses that contribute to the
strong financial performance of our association. This enables us to provide consistent and reliable cash patronage
dividends to our customer-members and give generously to those in need. Our board commits 1% of the association's
net income to stewardship investments annually and exceeds this target when it makes sense.
In 2021, Northwest FCS invested more than $4.4 million in a variety of charitable and industry organizations
and programs focused on community giving, youth education, higher education, support for military veterans
and crisis relief.
We are privileged to serve. And we look forward to continuing our tradition of supporting communities across the
Northwest. Our values truly live in our service and contributions to others.
