Give to the Max Day: Strengthening Minnesota Communities Through Local Return

Posted on November 20, 2025 by Jalyn Macy

Give to the Max Day is a powerful reminder of what makes Minnesota communities exceptional: when we give together, we grow together. This year’s statewide day of generosity aligns closely with Security Bank & Trust Co.’s Local Return commitment — our $1 million pledge over the next five years to invest directly in the places we call home.

Since announcing the Local Return on our 90th anniversary, we’ve begun putting that commitment into action. Security Bank & Trust Co. has already contributed to school sports programs, student-focused causes, local fire departments, and other community needs across the counties we serve. These early investments reflect exactly what Local Return stands for: supporting the people, programs, and projects that make Minnesota stronger.

Building Momentum for Meaningful Impact

The Local Return was created to make a long-standing mission official — keeping money local, putting it to work, and ensuring Minnesotans see the return. Give to the Max Day reinforces that same belief: that when resources stay close to home, they create lasting, visible impact. Learn more about Give to the Max Day and how it strengthens Minnesota communities.

Each year, $200,000 will be dedicated to supporting local organizations and initiatives that align with our commitment to strong, healthy communities. The early contributions we’ve made are just the beginning of what this initiative is designed to accomplish.

Growing, Together

For nine decades, Security Bank & Trust Co. has invested in the people and communities of Minnesota. From one branch in Glencoe to 21 locations today, our purpose has stayed the same: we grow when our communities grow. Explore our community involvement page to see how we're making a local impact.

This Give to the Max Day, we’re grateful for every neighbor, volunteer, donor, and organization working to make Minnesota a better place. Your commitment inspires ours.

Here’s to building stronger communities — today and every day — through the Local Return.
