Giving Back to the Communities We Serve

Credit unions have a social responsibility to uphold the philosophy of “People Helping People” and to support their communities. But at Advance Financial, it’s more than that. You’ve allowed us to serve and be a part of this community for over 80 years. We’re extremely grateful and, therefore, we want to give back. Through sponsorship and a variety of donations, charitable events, financial literacy education programs and unique partnerships with local businesses and organizations, Advance Financial is committed to a better Northwest Indiana.

AFFCU 2022 Scholarship Program

Help Support the Riley's Kids!

 

All Indiana kids deserve a chance for a healthier future and Riley Children's Foundation is fighting for that future by funding life-changing pediatric research, exceptional care and more. Thanks to the generosity of donors, Riley Children’s Foundation annually grants more than $35 million to Riley Children’s Health, Riley-affiliated researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine, and Camp Riley. Your gift allows every child access to best-in-class pediatric health care today and funds the development of new treatments for tomorrow.

That means more kids overcome cancer.

More kids born with heart defects grow up to be strong.
More kids head back to the playground after an accident.
More kids suffering from depression get the help they need.

Your gift means more kids thrive. When you give, more kids win.

Help us support Riley Children's Foundation by purchasing a Moe Monkey stuffed animal for $10, a cutout for a $1 or make a monetary donation from now until April 30 at either AFFCU office.
