Keen Bank Honored as Community Champion by the MBA
 
October 28, 2025 (Waseca, MN) — Keen Bank has been recognized by the Minnesota Bankers Association (MBA) as one of 88 Community Champions that have worked with hundreds of organizations in their communities this year, providing funding, volunteers, materials, supplies and/or food for their neighbors.  Recipients of the recognition range in size from small community banks to large banks with multiple branches and play a vital role in their communities.
 
In the wake of another challenging year for many, Minnesota bankers stepped up their efforts to give back to their communities and citizens. Just during the MBA’s September Community Impact Month alone, these 88 banks and 425 branches devoted more than 4,000 volunteer hours, completed hundreds of community service projects and donated tens of thousands of dollars to charitable organizations. In total, more than 296 distinct communities in Minnesota were impacted by their efforts.
 
“Minnesota banks provide an extraordinary level of commitment to the communities they serve,” said MBA President/CEO Joe Witt. “In addition to providing the capital that helps families and local businesses thrive, the banking industry’s record of supporting charitable and community causes is second to none. The MBA is pleased to recognize these banks for their commitment to making a real difference in their local communities.”
 
Keen Bank is a local, third generation family-owned and managed community bank, committed to customers and their financial wellbeing. For more information visit keen.bank.
