DFCU Financial continues investment in local education with $5,000 grant to Riverview Community Schools Education Foundation

DFCU Financial announced today that it donated $5,000 to the Riverview Community Schools Education Foundation to promote student achievement within the Riverview Community School District. The Education Foundation is one of four educational organizations receiving donations from DFCU Financial this year, raising the sum of Michigan’s largest credit union’s total contributions to community education to more than $500,000 in the past decade.

“DFCU Financial invests a significant amount of resources and effort into positively impacting the communities that surround us,” said Mark Shobe, president and CEO, DFCU Financial. “The $5,000 grant to Riverview Community Schools will equip kindergarten through eighth-grade students with mathematical measurement tools for hands-on learning through investigation and exploration, which will position students for long-term success in the classroom and community.”

Each year, DFCU Financial donates thousands of dollars to public school districts across the state of Michigan to support education and help children become financially literate and develop positive, long-lasting financial habits. In addition, the organization works directly with school districts to provide financial education in classrooms and at local branches.

“Thanks to DFCU, Riverview students will begin to receive foundational skills and resources to achieve career- and college-ready standards established by the state,” said Nancy Holloway, director of curriculum and grants at Riverview Community School District. “We are very appreciative of the continued community partnership with DFCU that our schools have enjoyed for many years.”
