Making a positive impact
Since GECU was founded in 1954, we've been committed to giving back and investing our time in the communities we serve. Our GECU Cares program allows us to maximize our impact by giving team members the chance to volunteer or make monetary donations to local organizations. In addition to these efforts, GECU also provides financial support to numerous local organizations each year through sponsorships, donations, and scholarships, furthering our mission to uplift and empower the communities we proudly serve.

Do Good Program
While we introduce a variety of volunteer opportunities each month, we recognize that many of our team members are passionate about causes they personally support. Through our Do Good program, we encourage them to volunteer independently with nonprofits that resonate with them, empowering them to make a meaningful impact in their own way.

Sponsorships and donations
We proudly support organizations that strengthen our community, seeking collaborations with groups that align with our values to create a lasting, positive impact. Together, we drive meaningful change and contribute to meaningful efforts that benefit the community as a whole.
Share the Care
Join Share the Care to expand your company's philanthropic efforts and employee giveback programs. Social responsibility is essential, but many businesses lack the resources to drive volunteerism. We provide the support you need to make a difference.
Scholarships
We’re committed to supporting the next generation of leaders through our scholarship opportunities. Each year, we provide scholarships to help students achieve their academic goals, easing the financial burden of higher education and empowering them to pursue their dreams.
