Investing in Our Communities

At Adirondack Regional Federal Credit Union, we are committed to helping our communities thrive. Whether it is through scholarships for local high school students, events and community programs, discount tickets to area attractions or donations to help local organizations, we strive to give back as much as possible. That is why each year we select several non-profits and charitable organizations right here in the North Country that align with our community values and interests.

Our giving doesn’t stop there. As a local credit union, our team is just as committed to our local communities as we are. Many of our tellers, managers, and loan officers can be found volunteering their time for local organizations and charities across the region.

Charitable Donation Accounts

The Adirondack Foundation has been providing critical financial support for nonprofits in the North Country since 1995. Now, we’re partnering with the Foundation through our new charitable donation account.

During the first five years, 51% of the earnings in our charitable donation accounts will be gifted to the Adirondack Foundation for a new fund we have established there.  The remaining 49% of earnings will be used by us to grow our annual scholarships for graduating seniors.

This investment will create a lasting legacy with the Adirondack Foundation, which has an unparalleled track record of working with local nonprofits to fill vital needs in the North Country. Our board will work directly with the Adirondack Foundation to determine worthy recipients and administer grants based on how much money is available.
