As the state’s first-ever credit union and one of its longest-tenured local businesses, we are firm believers in Rhode Island. This is our home. We love everything there is to love about Rhode Island, and we feel a responsibility to give back to the communities we serve.
Since Navigant Credit Union’s very beginning, our mission has never wavered: To always be there for our community, with our time, talent and treasure. Over the years, Navigant Credit Union has donated to more than 600 different organizations, putting over $3.5 million back to work in the community.
In 2019 we established the Navigant Credit Union Charitable Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 charity, to make even greater, more impactful donations to these good organizations. This will only be possible because of thoughtful contributions from members like you.
We’re starting by raising funds. Together – you, we and our 150,000 members – can help make a real impact supporting the ongoing work of community-minded nonprofits throughout our state.
Organizational and capital support for programs, supplies, building products, sports facilities and teams.
Funding to provide organizational support for arts and cultural organizations.
Support of service organizations, environmental and open space initiatives.
Financial support for programs and organizations for children, veterans, hunger and housing.
Support for programs addressing public safety, emergency care and eradication of disease.
