For Our Neighbors

We believe this community is home to wonderful people from all walks of life. We proudly support neighbors in need through an employee gift matching program, United Way Campaign, paid employee volunteer time, holiday giving campaign, food drive, and numerous other annual charitable efforts.

For Its Sports Teams

Our employees are proud fans, coaches, and volunteers for youth sports. You can often find Federated on local jerseys, stadium walls, and event programs, as we believe sports create a strong foundation for health, friendship, and life skills.

For Its Education System

Our community’s schools, educators, and students have a friend in Federated. We believe a quality education system is essential to a quality community and workforce. We are proud contributors to the Owatonna High School and various local efforts to improve learning for all students.

For Its Seasonal Festivities

We appreciate and celebrate the change in season. From the decor that lines the streets during the holiday season to the 'spooktacular' events that the city organizes during the fall, we’re proud to be part of a community that celebrates all seasons with family events, year-round. 

For Its Art Scene

We’re awed by the talent of local musicians, artists, actors, and other creative professionals. Federated regularly supports high school and community theater productions, as well as other arts events in the community. 

For Its Local Businesses and Artisans

We love shopping local and supporting our fellow hometown businesses. Through our involvement with the Owatonna Foundation, we proudly advocate for business development and downtown revitalization. 

For Its Park System

We appreciate the many play and recreation areas found throughout our community. We not only enjoy our parks, we are also proud supporters of the We All Play program, which installed adaptive playground equipment at Manthey Park in Owatonna. 

For Its Architecture and History

We honor our community’s rich history and well-known architecture. Our Home Office building proudly stands alongside the National Farmer’s Bank of Owatonna building, Minnesota State Public School Orphanage, and other historically significant locations as reminders of Owatonna’s early days. 

For Its Healthcare

We are thankful for the quality of care and caregivers found in our community. As a donor of the atrium at the Owatonna Hospital and outdoor lighting at the Owatonna Clinic, Federated appreciates the medical professionals who help keep our community healthy. 

For Its Trail System

We enjoy exploring the outdoors on our community’s scenic trails. Federated employees not only use the trail system, they can also be found volunteering to clean and maintain these pathways throughout the year.
