Being the lender of choice in every community we serve is one of the main components of the First Community Mortgage mission statement.

Giving back and helping others within the community is one way we can fulfill and make our mission statement a reality. This foundation is employee-managed and allows us to give back to our local communities in a more effective and efficient manner. We raise funds for the foundation through direct First Community Mortgage, Inc., contributions, employee contributions, business partner contributions and the fundraising efforts of our employees. Employees from the company are appointed as Directors of the foundation and distribute funds throughout the year in accordance with the foundation’s budget and the board’s approval.

This annual scholarship is created in memory of Lorenzo Adams, FCM’s VP of Operations. Lorenzo passed away unexpectedly in 2020. He was a positive light for all FCM employees, business partners, and vendors he interacted with. Zo, as many knew him, was an amazing Christian, husband, father, friend, and co-worker. He had a special way of welcoming everyone and was always looking for ways to help others. He worked incredibly hard and was responsible for a lot of the success First Community Mortgage sees today. This scholarship will be provided to Edinboro University School of Business, Lorenzo’s alma mater.
