LI's Teachers FCU Donates $50K To 3 Causes

HAUPPAUGE, NY — Teachers Federal Credit Union ended its third annual Season of Giving campaign by donating $50,000 to three non-profit organizations, the credit union announced.

The campaign, which launched on Giving Tuesday, brought the credit union’s total 2023 charitable giving contribution to more than $800K across 75 non-profit organizations.

Between Nov. 28 and Dec. 4, Teachers turned to its members and community to vote on the distribution of its Season of Giving funds. Thousands of votes came in across the nation, resulting in:

• Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center receives $25,000 to support its mission to end cancer for life.
• Tunnel to Towers Foundation receives $15,000 to support its mission of providing mortgage-free homes to families of Gold Star recipients and fallen first responders with young children.
• Ronald McDonald House receives $10,000 to support its mission to offer comfort, care, and support to families with children facing illnesses worldwide.

"Closing out a year highlighted by record-breaking charitable giving and volunteerism, Teachers is proud to donate $50,000 to three incredible non-profit organizations," said Brad Calhoun, president and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union, in a news release. "Aligned with our guiding principle of building a strong community, this initiative reinforces our credit union’s dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of our members, and the communities we serve."

The Season of Giving campaign is just one of the ways Teachers gives back to the communities it serves throughout the year, the FCU wrote. Teachers shares its time and resources with non-profit organizations that promote education, health and human services, research, and economic development.
