Education First Federal Credit Union Awards NISD Grant

Posted Date: 01/24/2020

Education First Federal Credit Union has an awesome program called “Pay It Forward.” Any time someone takes out a loan from Education First, they can choose to designate a school or campus to receive funds from this program.  For more information, visit this link:  https://www.educationfirstfcu.org/About/Community/We-re-Paying-It-Forward.  All three of our campuses received money from this program this year.  

Thank you, Education First FCU, for your continued support of local school districts!

From the Education First FCU website:

Educational opportunities enrich children's lives and benefit everyone in our Southeast Texas communities. We believe in the power of education - it's rooted in our values and at the heart of our existence. We're proud of our local schools and thrilled to present this opportunity to all members. There's no better feeling than making a difference in your community. To show our appreciation and support of our local schools, we have donated over $200,000 to date and we are proud to say that We're Paying It Forward!

Here's how it works.

Each time a member borrows with us, we make a cash donation to a school/campus of the members choice*. These funds are undesignated and can be used for special initiatives, programs or equipment. Each January, the aggregate donation is presented to the administrator for each campus. That means each loan makes a difference in your community.
