我们的 3 pillars of giving

教育

教育 remains a great equalizer. Central to our mission are partnerships with youth-focused organizations centered around education, 如 准备好, 男孩 & 女孩俱乐部, Communities in Schools, Junior Achievement, LifeSmarts 和 public higher education, with an emphasis on supporting first-generation college students 和 students of color.

Self-sufficiency

We’re dedicated to helping people — no matter where they are on their financial journey — including support for basic needs programs that address food scarcity, 避难所, senior 服务和 more. We’re proud to work with organizations 如 第二个收获 和 Habitat for Humanity, 和 to help groups with financial wellness classes.

Public employees 和 assets

我们的历史 is rooted in public service. WSECU was founded by public employees dedicated to advancing our common good. Supporting people, programs 和 events that exp和 access to our shared public treasures isn’t just central to our mission. It’s who we are.

Equitable access to financial 服务

Credit unions were founded on the idea of neighbors coming together. As a financial institution we embrace our special responsibility to exp和 equitable access in financial 服务, 和 are committed to the additional work we can do as a credit union to reduce systemic racism.

A long-st和ing commitment to education

We’ve embarked on a multiyear partnership with University of Washington’s Tacoma 和 Bothell branch campuses to support student success, especially for underrepresented students of color.

Volunteerism at work

We provide paid time off so our team can share their talent 和 time volunteering in their communities — at schools, 食物银行, 献血活动, state parks 和 countless other nonprofit organizations — creating a lasting impact in every corner of Washington state.

Empowering employees to give

我们的 "Up to Some Good” program reimburses every employee $100 to pay it forward, every year — however they see fit. 到目前为止, employees have helped hundreds of people 和 organizations through small gestures of kindness, from filling up a neighbor’s gas tank to crossing supplies off animal 避难所s’ wish lists.

Exp和ing access to our great outdoors

All Washingtonians deserve to reap the benefits of our great outdoors. To foster inclusion for underserved communities, we invest in Check Out Washington with the Washington State Parks Foundation. Now library card holders can check out adventure packs containing a Discover Pass, 双筒望远镜, nature guides 和 hit the trails.
