About the Program

In 2017, the Support Education Foundation, Inc. was established by Educational Systems Federal Credit Union to help fulfill their core purpose of serving the education community. The Foundation is named after the Credit Union’s mantra of Support Education.

The mission of the Support Education Foundation is to operate and support charitable giving programs for the benefit of members of the education community. Funds raised through the 501(c)(3) organization are used for programs such as student scholarships, professional development awards and other initiatives to help students achieve in the classroom. Together, we Support Education.

Warming Hearts and Hands

We donate thousands of new hats, gloves, mittens, scarves and socks to K-12 and community college students through our Warming Hearts and Hands program. Donations of new winter accessories are accepted at branch locations between November 1 and November 30. Monetary donations can also be made online and the funds collected will support students in the education community.
