One way that Education First supports education is through our Paying It Forward Program.  Each time a member borrows with us, the credit union makes a donation on behalf of that member to the school of their choice. Since the program's inception in 2014, we have awarded over $357,000 in unrestricted funds to area schools. Find out how you can help us Pay it Forward today.

Read our press release to learn more about this year's Paying It Forward luncheon and donations.
