Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the largest credit unions in the United States with $9.7 billion assets and more than 470,000 members, is celebrating Giving Tuesday with the launch of its annual Season of Giving campaign, pledging $50,000 to three remarkable non-profit organizations – Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Ronald McDonald House, and Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
As an integral component of the campaign, Teachers is looking to the community to help determine how the donations will be distributed among the three charities. Between November 28 and December 4, Teachers members and the broader community have the chance to cast their votes and determine the distribution of $50,000. Voting is open to the public and will take place online at www.teachersfcu.org/season-of-giving. Results will be announced on December 18, 2023, on the Teachers website and social media channels.
- First place non-profit recipient - $25,000
- Second place non-profit recipient - $15,000
- Third place non-profit recipient - $10,000
“Embracing the strength of our community, we extend an invitation to our members and the public to vote on how these funds will be distributed among the three charities,” said Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union. “The collective voice of the community carries great significance, and your participation can help make this holiday season extra special for those in need.”
The Season of Giving campaign is just one of the ways Teachers gives back to the communities it serves throughout the year. Committed to its community stewardship year-round, Teachers shares its time and resources with non-profit organizations that promote education, health and human services, research, and economic development. Throughout 2023, Teachers has donated over $800,000 to more than 60 charitable organizations across the country.
