NCU Charitable Foundation

Imagine the difference all of us could make.

 What is the Navigant Credit Union Charitable Foundation?

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.
