Our Mission
The First Alliance Credit Union Foundation’s mission is to make financial success achievable for all. We believe the key to financial success starts with alleviating financial stress, especially for those communities that have been historically underserved. To that end, we support organizations that seek to relieve the financial stress of those in need but also use innovative, inclusive programs and proven methods to empower individuals by providing them with the financial tools they need to succeed.

About Us
The First Alliance Credit Union Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in April 2022. Our goal is to improve the financial well-being for all members of our South East Minnesota community by working with community partners to relieve the financial stress of families and individuals.
Financial stress comes in many forms, from food and housing insecurity to financial literacy needs and so much more. When community members are financially stable it impacts their mental and physical well-being and contributes positively to the local economy. Our Foundation will help by providing much needed funding to organizations in South East Minnesota that are doing incredible work to improve the lives of financially stressed families and individuals in our community.
