Author: 316 Financial | Published: Thursday, March 12, 2026

316 Financial is honored to announce The Jimmie Hale Mission and Fathers in the Field as its 2025 tithing recipients, continuing the bank’s commitment to dedicate ten percent of its profits to faith-based organizations making a meaningful impact.

At 316 Financial, generosity is built into the way the institution operates. By tithing directly from profits, 316 Financial seeks to ensure that everyday banking supports work that restores dignity, strengthens families, and reflects faith in action.

“Our approach to banking is rooted in stewardship and responsibility,” said Paige Whitaker, Brand Growth and Partnerships Manager at 316 Financial. “Giving to organizations like these allows us to live out our commitment to generosity and stewardship and extend our values beyond financial services and into work that is creating lasting impact.”

The Jimmie Hale Mission, based in Birmingham, Alabama, serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness, addiction, and crisis through residential recovery programs, housing assistance, and compassionate care. Their holistic approach focuses on restoration, stability, and long-term transformation.

Fathers in the Field is dedicated to strengthening fathers and families through mentorship, discipleship, and community engagement. By equipping men to lead their families with integrity and purpose, the organization works to foster generational change.

Earlier this month, 316 Financial shared this announcement during a special radio interview with WDJC, alongside Perryn Carroll, Executive Director of The Jimmie Hale Mission. The conversation highlighted why 316 Financial was created, the heart behind its commitment to generosity, and how these partnerships support life-changing work in local communities.

Together, these organizations reflect the heart behind 316 Financial’s mission—faith expressed through generosity, responsibility, and intentional stewardship.

As a digital bank serving customers nationwide, 316 Financial remains committed to stewarding its resources faithfully and partnering with organizations that embody faith, compassion and responsibility.
