Actions speak louder than words

Each year we award $1,500 scholarships to our members graduating from high school. Honorees are chosen based upon academic achievement, extracurricular activities and evidence of financial responsibility.

Applications are electronic and can be completed on a computer, a tablet or a smartphone. The 2021 application deadline is April 2.

Since 2004, members have had the opportunity to skip two loan payments each year for a modest $10 or $15 monthly fee.

All funds collected are forwarded to Abilene’s Boys and Girls Club to assist their meaningful work with Abilene’s children and teens. More than $2.1 million has been donated in the past 18 years.

On behalf of the kids, many thanks to our members for their continued participation!

Whether it’s a classroom discussion or a large in-school economic reality fair, we can help.

We want to put a good word in for the Banzai financial literacy classroom program. We provide all materials needed by the elementary, secondary and middle schools within our service area. This interactive curriculum has been enthusiastically received by students around the nation and in the Big Country.

We’ve worked closely with the March of Dimes in West Texas to aid their mission of decreasing premature births. It is not an exaggeration to state that MOD’s research positively impacts the life of every child born in the United States.

The work continues. On a corporate level, the credit union has elected to donate a penny for every ATFCU debit card transaction made since the beginning of 2013.

CU Around is a group of ATFCU employees getting out in the community spreading joy to others. We show up unannounced to perform random acts of kindness.

We have appeared at Chick-Fil-A on St. Patrick’s Day and bought lunch for those wearing green. We delivered lunch to the florists in town on Valentine’s Day. We supplied Dippin Dots ice cream for Zoo patrons on a hot summer evening. It brings so much joy to brighten the day of those around us.

Our most recent random project was delivering lunch and goodies to the UPS drivers working tirelessly to deliver Christmas. 2020 was a dark year and we are grateful to them for bringing a semblance of normalcy to the holidays.

Be on the lookout for our team in their bright blue shirts.
