When you partner with Desert Financial for life’s big decisions and purchases, you empower us to help people in our community. There’s no donation or volunteering required — though there are always opportunities to join us in giving back.

COMMUNITY

Desert Financial is passionate about helping others, and our team members are, too! We offer hundreds of ways for our employees to give back throughout the year.

Featured Community Event

Save the Family

Team members from all over the credit union cleaned out and painted an apartment at Save the Family, which helps more than 650 families experiencing homelessness annually. Our volunteer work on the apartment enabled a family experiencing hardship to move in immediately. We also presented the organization with a check to support their children’s programming.

RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS

We started a #KindnessRevolution in Arizona by surprising members of our community in unexpected ways!

Featured Random Act of Kindness

International Credit Union Day

Team members at all our branches celebrated International Credit Union Day by performing their own Random Acts of Kindness. Teams bought sweet treats for members, paid for groceries at in-store branches, created gift baskets and more.

We performed nearly 300 Random Acts of Kindness at the Phoenix Pride Festival, including giving away Bluetooth speakers, gift cards, water bottles, Harkins Theatres tickets and more.

Prescott Housing Solutions is a nonprofit that works to provide affordable housing in northern Arizona. We provided the organization with essential household items to help their shelter residents feel more comfortable.

Jaswinder Singh made national headlines by offering much lower gas prices than all other gas stations in the Valley. Though he lost money, Singh says that his values motivated him to drop prices because he knows how much people are struggling right now. We surprised his family with a gift basket to thank him for giving back to our community.
