Serving Our Communities

There’s a reason we’re called Community First.

It’s more than a name. It’s our responsibility to positively impact the economic health, social well-being and quality of life where our member-owners live and work. Take a look at some of our sponsored events.

Calendar of Events

Involvement in the community.

Giving back to the community is more than just about money. Sometimes its requires guidance, services or just someone to lend a hand. Whatever the need, we’re in our communities to find a way.

Supporting financial literacy. We dedicate significant resources each year to help youth and adults improve their understanding of personal finance.

Donating our time. In 2020, 55% of our employees volunteered 10,229 hours to 326 organizations throughout the communities we serve.

Sponsoring events & fundraisers. These kind of sponsorships help organizations to raise funds, further their mission and bring events to the community.

Getting involved. Our team members lend their experience through board and committee service for many organizations throughout the area.

Spreading the love across NE Wisconsin in different ways.

We focus on contributions that have a far reaching economic and social ripple across the entire region. Some of our most recent examples of support include:

Therapy dog fundraiser launches for Tomorrow's Children

Community First Credit Union provides matching grant for Tomorrow’s Children therapy dog.

Community First Key Partner in Financial Literacy Center

Collaboration with Junior Achievement, FVTC to serve 15,000 New North Region students annually.

Waupaca gets help to brighten downtown

Public art is increasingly viewed as an investment in community.

Here’s what our community partners have to say.

Greater Fox Cities Area Habitat for Humanity

“When the Rock the Block concept was proposed, Community First Credit Union stepped forward and said ‘we believe in this and we believe in our community and want to make a difference.’ That seed of support – from Community First and other lead donors-really allowed Rock the Block to blossom.” John Weyenberg, President/CEO

Heckrodt Wetland Reserve & Menasha Park & Recreation

“Community First is dedicated to making the community a better place and that’s why the Community First Free Fishing Day is the perfect partnership for Heckrodt Wetland Reserve and Menasha Park & Recreation." Luke Schiller, Heckrodt Director of Education

Jake’s Diapers

“You should know that your impact goes much deeper than the diapers and donations collected at Community First Credit Union. We've had a number of people call because they saw the Community First signs or heard the radio ads. It is truly fabulous what you are doing to help babies – and beyond babies – stay clean, dry, and healthy!" Stephanie Bowers, Co-founder & Executive Director.
