Community Involvement



Community Outreach
American Eagle Federal Credit Union is committed to improving the quality of life for the residents of the communities in which we live, work and operate. We will dedicate both monetary donations, in-kind support, and personnel resources that focus on areas of importance to our members, employees, and volunteers.

American Eagle Federal Credit Union targets its contributions and volunteer resources to organizations, programs and causes that support three key areas:
     
·        Education and Youth (emphasis on literacy and personal finance)
      ·        Basic Human Needs (emphasis on food, clothing, and shelter)
      ·        Community Development
Our goal in supporting these organizations, through donations and volunteerism, is to enhance and support the communities that we serve.
