Twenty-one years ago, we founded the NWFCU Foundation, with the purpose of helping children by providing scholarships to exceptional students. Since then, we’ve expanded our community outreach to include additional support for children in need. During those years, we have become the heart of NWFCU. I’m honored to have been part of our proud past and look forward to an even brighter future.
