• Financial literacy programs in partnership with local nonprofits
• Financial education in local schools

• We are a designated Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), giving us the opportunity to support low-income communities through special lending programs and federal grant funds.
• Since being certified as a CDFI in 2022, we have received two CDFI grants totaling $1.46 million. We match the grant funds and disburse them as loans to individuals and businesses in historically underserved communities. We are passionate about sparking economic growth through CDFI loans as a way to create positive change in our communities. Our CDFI grant programs:
  • Support household stabilization of local minority and immigrant populations
  • Provide affordable financing for members struggling with previous predatory auto loan rates, payday loan debt cycles, and high interest debt
  • Provide inclusive banking solutions for low-income single female or female- headed households

• Arlington Community FCU team members work together to support nonprofit organizations, through dedicated volunteer days and small group opportunities
• Team members volunteer in their home communities with organizations for which they have a personal passion, broadening the impact of our volunteer program
• Many of our leaders volunteer their time and expertise to nonprofit and industry boards and committees

Our team members earn extra paid time-off for community volunteer hours! Want to join the team and be rewarded for giving back? Check out our open positions.
