You empower us to share success
You play a role in changing lives. Unlike banks, which are owned by shareholders, our not-for-profit credit union is member-owned. This allows us to give more back to our communities and help make a difference in the lives of others.
Ways we give back
Corporate and employee giving
Through corporate and employee giving, Desert Financial partners with nonprofits throughout Arizona to empower financial well-being and help our community thrive.
Volunteering
Our organization and team members are always willing to exercise their Passion to Help (one of our core values) through programs that serve the community.
Financial well-being
By providing financial education tools and information, we empower our members, team and community to take charge of their financial health.
Random Acts of Kindness
Since 2018, we have been performing Random Acts of Kindness as part of our commitment to share success and provide exceptional experiences within our community.
Teacher Appreciation
Founded by educators in 1939, Desert Financial is committed to building on the legacy of our founders through our Teacher Appreciation events and Adopt-A-Teacher initiatives
