Yes, we lend money. But we also lend a helping hand.
Giving back. A lot of businesses and organizations talk about doing it. At Capital Credit Union, we let our intensive volunteer and fundraising efforts speak for us. Just ask the United Way, the Fargo YWCA, the Bismarck Library, Dakota Zoo and the dozens of other organizations we support.
The region we serve in North Dakota and Minnesota is full of great people and worthy organizations. Many of them are self-sufficient. But some folks need a little help pulling themselves up by the bootstraps. And some non-profit groups need a lot of help reaching their goals. We're proud to give money, give time and give back to the state that we love.
- Our employees collectively spend hundreds of hours each year volunteering at community events.

- We also make yearly donations to community events and non-profits in Fargo, Bismarck/Mandan, Hazen, Beulah and New Salem.
- As part of our company values, we strive to support events related to financial education in the communities we serve.

During employee appreciation week, we enjoyed presenting to ND State Capitol employees on home equity loans and mortgages. As one attendee said, "The sandwiches were good but the presenters were great!" With community opportunities like this, we continually strive to fulfill our brand promise to empower success through financial education.
