MSUFCU Embraces Its Role as a Community Partner


For more than 84 years, MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) has been committed to helping our members, employees, and communities achieve their dreams. The Credit Union proudly serves the Greater Lansing, Oakland County, Grand Rapids, and Traverse City areas. However, our service goes beyond being a financial partner in these communities.


The Credit Union supports hundreds of charitable organizations in our communities through monetary and in-kind donations. These programs include the Michigan Arbor Day Alliance, Meadow Brook Hall, the Diatribe, and Traverse City Opera House, among many others. When we give back, we are supporting our core values of driving change and building a positive environment to help create a vibrant community for all.


The Desk Drawer Fund furthers our commitment to the communities we serve within its philanthropic pillars of Arts & Culture, Stable Housing, Empowering Youth, Financial Education, and Fostering Entrepreneurialism. In 2021, our foundation supported 104 organizations and individuals through donations that help create jobs, teach valuable skills, and increase overall quality of life.


Each year, our employees attend, volunteer, and work at charitable and community events. Whether they are volunteering at a cause-related 5K race, planting trees, or teaching children the importance of responsible money management, our employees embrace our role as a community leader and their time and talents help enrich lives.

Credit Union employees also work together to nominate and support local organizations for our annual charity campaign. In 2021, MSUFCU raised funds and awareness for four charities: Firecracker Foundation, New Hope Pet Rescue, REACH Studio Art, and Salus Center. Additionally, the Credit Union partners with the Capital Area United Way every year, donating funds from our dress down days and annual payroll deduction campaign.


At MSUFCU, it is our mission to help our members achieve financial security. Since 2013, our members have saved more than $110 million in loan interest by refinancing their high-rate loans from other financial institutions to MSUFCU at lower rates. Additionally, our members have saved more by putting their money into higher-earning deposit accounts. By continually sharing information about our low-rate loans and higher-rate deposit options, our members save and earn millions — helping them find financial freedom to make their dreams come true.

We are honored to have the support of our members to help positively impact the communities we serve. We will continue partnering with local organizations and providing superior service to create a place where our members and employees are proud to live and work.
