Supporting education in our communities

Home 1st United for Schools

We love school!

At 1st United, we believe good financial habits start at a young age. A Credit Union savings account is a smart way to build a bright financial future. That’s why we’ve developed this unique fundraising opportunity. Here’s how it works:

Earn money for your school

When students, families, teachers, faculty, or community members open a new, qualifying 1st United account using the school's promotion code, we’ll donate $25 to the school. Plus, we’ll deposit $25 into a savings account for the member, too. Now, that's a great deal!

Participating schools

1st United partners with schools in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. When you apply for your 1st United account and use the promotion code for the corresponding school on your application, you both get $25.

Get started

We don't have any school promotions live right now, but we'd love to get started! Simply email us if you're interested or we can reach out to your school.

Together, we can make a difference!
