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:

Police Lights of Christmas blessing bags

Officers embrace opportunity to help others through the Police Lights of Christmas initiative.

Employees go 'above and beyond' to make a difference for Wisconsin Special Olympics

We're thrilled to honor Special Olympic.

Here’s what our community partners have to say.

Police Lights of Christmas

“Community First is not just the name of this credit union – it is THE WAY THEY CONDUCT BUSINESS! They have been there since day one, growing along with us with their support and encouragement that our officers have been able to hand off thousands of dollars-worth of gift cards each winter season – not to mention over 3000 backpacks – to help homeless neighbors!” Katie Connell – Founder & Director of the Police Lights of Christmas

Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra

"We love partnering with Community First because we know they give back to the community in so many ways. They are always excited to hear about our new programs and events. But most importantly, they support our mission and vision and join us in trying to make the community a better place with everything they do." Jamie LaFreniere, Executive Director Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra

Waupaca Historical Society

"Waupaca’s Yuletide Trail began as a community event to celebrate the holidays. From the start, Community First Credit Union supported the largest piece of the event—the cookie walk—through the Spread the Love campaign and selling cookie tins at their local office. The walk has grown into both a key fundraiser for our non-profit but also a way to bring our community together in the spirit of Christmas." Tracy Behrendt, Director, Waupaca Historical Society
