Financial Institution: Education First Credit Union

Give educators a little extra financial help as they prepare for a new school year. This credit union brought back its Classroom Cash loan, offering teachers an affordable way to purchase classroom supplies, update equipment or make improvements to their learning environment.

The limited time program offered a $500 loan at a low fixed rate, with simple requirements designed to make the loan accessible to educators.

Idea: Consider creating a special loan or financial product around a specific community need. A small, affordable loan designed for educators can provide meaningful support while demonstrating that your financial institution understands and appreciates the people who serve your community.
