Donations

People helping people. That’s what a credit union, and in particular, Navigant Credit Union, is all about. We are committed to the financial well-being of the families, businesses, and communities we serve, and have been since our founding in 1915. That’s why we donate over $1 million each year to worthwhile causes and organizations throughout Rhode Island.

Food Insecurity

Providing funds for the lack of reliable access to sufficient, nutritious food.

Housing

Addressing the necessity for safe, affordable, and stable living conditions.

 What is the Navigant Credit Union Charitable Foundation?

Over the years, Navigant Credit Union has donated to more than 600 different organizations, putting over $3.5 million back to work in the community. In 2019 we established the Navigant Credit Union Charitable Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 charity, to make even greater, more impactful donations to these good organizations. This will only be possible because of thoughtful contributions from members like you.
