Freedom First Credit Union is pleased to announce our new giving program, Freedom First Gives. This new program makes applying for funding from Freedom First easy and less time-consuming by sending funding requests through a single, streamlined process.

Additionally, Freedom First Gives applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis so there are no funding windows that could be missed.

Funding requests of up to $5,000 will be considered and organizations within our field of membership can apply.

Each year, Freedom First commits a minimum of 10% of our previous year’s net profit towards give back activities. “Whether it’s through targeted investment, economic development, financial education, community outreach, or Freedom First Gives, our goal is to help make a difference in the lives of those we serve,” said Paul Phillips, President/CEO of Freedom First.
