United Way of Greater Fort Dodge is a 501(C)3 public charity dedicated to supporting and uplifting families and youth. United Way of Greater Fort Dodge supports numerous organizations and agencies that help struggling families become self-sufficient and stable for the long-term. Families need a supportive community to provide social ties, enhance health, teach values and develop assets in children

. When families are stable and thriving, they provide the best environment for children to grow, develop and reach their full potential academically, socially and developmentally. United Way of Greater Fort Dodge is also dedicated to ensuring the best possible future for our youth by promoting positive choices and behaviors and helping youth access available services and resources so they have a greater opportunity to achieve their full potential and pursue their goals and dreams. By providing leadership and supporting a coalition of organizations, agencies, services and programs, United Way is building a synergistic network that effectively connects youth to opportunities that will provide them with the chance to grow and develop in a positive and healthy way; and in doing so, help them create an optimistic future filled with hope.

Fort Dodge History
First National Bank / Beh Building

Location: 629 Central Ave.
Construction Timeline: 1907 – 1908
Architect: Liebbe, Nourse and Rasmussen (Des Moines, IA)
Original Owner: First National Bank
Size: Six stories
Purpose of Building: Bank and office suite

Built in 1907-1908, the First National Bank Building is a prominent landmark in Fort Dodge. The history of the First National Bank runs almost parallel with the development of Fort Dodge since 1866. The officers and directors of the First National Bank were among the city's most prominent businessmen, active in city commerce and politics as well as the regionally important gypsum extraction and milling industry.

The bank itself was the most prominent financial institution in Fort Dodge. Costing over $200,000 and rising six stories tall, this building was at its completion the city's most celebrated office structure. For almost 60 years, the building housed one of Fort Dodge's most prominent banks--either the First National Bank or the State Bank--on its first floor.
