The State Bank of Richmond has been part of the community since 1904. With Richmond’s growth and success, the bank has grown too, prompting them to give back. In 1988, they established a fund to provide scholarships to high school seniors in the Richmond community to help them attend an accredited post-secondary institution.

Through the ROCORI Area Community Foundation, we currently administer three scholarship funds for area students.

A group of ROCORI leaders initiated plans to find a partner to develop a charitable foundation for our community in 2011 and formed an official partnership with the Central Minnesota Community Foundation in 2012.
