Proud Sponsor of the P1FCU Kibbie Dome

We've been part of the Palouse landscape for over 20 years, serving our members and giving back to the community. In 2023, we entered into a partnership with the U of I that allows us to give back to students through a naming rights agreement for the iconic Kibbie Dome.

In the words of our President and CEO, Chris Loseth, "The University of Idaho partnership and P1FCU Kibbie Dome naming sponsorship creates a great opportunity to further invest in young adults and empower them through a high-impact, high-value financial literacy education with support from our staff."
