CHARITABLE GIVING
Staying true to our guiding principle of building a strong community, we have made a significant impact on our members’ lives through charitable giving and partnerships with non-profit organizations such as ALS Ride for Life, Association for Mental Health and Wellness, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Island Harvest, LGBT Network, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Nassau Community College Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Tunnel to Towers Foundation, and Wounded Warrior Project.
In 2024, Teachers proudly continued our support of the American Cancer Society, serving as the Presenting Sponsor for Making Strides Long Island and Making Strides Eastern Long Island, and the Flagship Sponsor of Making Strides Tampa, raising more than $176,000 for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. These efforts help fund life-saving research and provide essential programs and services to survivors, thrivers, and caregivers.
In support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals®, we raised more than $600,000 in 2024 through an organizational-wide fundraising campaign that culminated with the annual Teachers Federal Credit Union Golf Tournament, benefiting the charity and its mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
