Community involvement

We love giving back

Not to sound cliché, but we really, really like to give back to our communities – both financially and through our time and talents. Our employees jump at the chance to volunteer and wear our company’s stewardship badge proudly. They’re energetic, passionate and love helping organizations that touch a special place in their hearts.  In 2023, we supported more than 110 organizations in Apple Valley, Eagan, Edina, Rochester and their surrounding communities with charitable grants and sponsorships.

Grants

Got a great cause or project that’s making things better and brighter for our communities? We’re all ears. We love hearing your stories and may be able to help by providing you with a grant! To learn more about our grant process or to submit a grant application please visit thinkbank.com/grants.
 
Your work is important, and we’re excited to hear about it!

A culture of caring

Vibrant communities are full of life, laughter, and opportunities to work and grow. At Think, we want to use our energy, enthusiasm, and resources to make our communities even better for everyone!
 
 Think Gives Day is an annual one-day event that has become a beloved, highly anticipated tradition among our employees and the organizations we help. In 2023, we closed our offices for a day to send our team out into the community to help 17 organizations paint, clean, pack, move, rake, build, haul, and much more.

Life is sweet: We loved sponsoring Lemonade Day in Rochester, MN. It was a treat to watch young entrepreneurs plan, build and run their businesses.
