Who We Are
Community Outreach

Community Outreach

Investing our time, talents, and resources where they matter most.

Supporting organizations that help improve the lives of those around us.

Our assistance includes organizing member activities and fundraising, direct financial help, and volunteer efforts by staff, family, friends, management volunteers, and our valued members.

Community Partner Spotlight

Exodus Project

Serving as a financial counselor to formerly incarcerated individuals, helping them rebuild their financial future through secured loans, second-chance banking, credit improvement, online banking education, and fraud awareness.

River City Food Bank

At First U.S., we’re proud to support River City Food Bank and its mission to provide nutritious food to individuals and families facing food insecurity in our community. Our team members have rolled up their sleeves to help distribute food, supported the organization’s annual fundraiser, and matched our hours with dollars to ensure the food bank can continue its important work.

Sammie's Friends

Every animal deserves a safe, loving home, and Sammie’s Friends is making that possible for animals in need throughout Nevada County. Through a pet adoption event and food and toy drive at our Grass Valley branch, along with hands-on volunteering at the shelter, our team members are helping support this important mission and make our community a kinder place for people and pets alike.

Helping the next generation imagine what’s possible.

First U.S. offers a yearly scholarship program for graduating high school student or continuing college student.

Recognized by the community we serve.

We’re honored to be voted GOLD – Credit Union in this year’s Sacramento Favorites by The Sacramento Bee. It’s a reflection of the trust our members place in us every day—and a reminder of why we continue to put people first.

Building Stronger Communities, Together

We believe strong communities are built by people and organizations working together to make a difference. That’s why we support local nonprofits, community events, and initiatives that bring people together and help our communities thrive.

Purpose & Values

Our story began with seven members in 1936, but First U.S. has always been about something bigger than numbers. It is about people helping people and building relationships that make a difference in members’ financial lives and the communities we share.
