In April 2019, MSUFCU established a charitable foundation to deepen our commitment to the communities where our members live and work. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded nearly $3 million in meaningful grants to more than 50 nonprofit organizations across Michigan, an achievement made possible through the generous support of MSUFCU employees, members, and community partners.

Giving back to the community has been part of MSUFCU’s mission since 1937, when the Credit Union was founded from a desk drawer on Michigan State University’s (MSU) campus. Today, the MSUFCU Desk Drawer Foundation continues that legacy by focusing on five philanthropic pillars:

• The Arts
• Entrepreneurship
• Financial Education
• Stable Housing
• Youth Empowerment
