Credit unions have a social responsibility to uphold the philosophy of “People Helping People” and to support their communities. But at Advance Financial, it’s more than that. You’ve allowed us to serve and be a part of this community for over 80 years. We’re extremely grateful and, therefore, we want to give back. Through sponsorship and a variety of donations, charitable events, financial literacy education programs and unique partnerships with local businesses and organizations, Advance Financial is committed to a better Northwest Indiana.

At Advance Financial, we stand by our commitment to supporting those in need—especially during times of crisis. The recent California wildfires have caused devastation, displaced thousands of families and is impacting countless communities, including credit union employees and volunteers.
To help those affected, we are launching a Wildfire Relief Fundraiser in partnership with CUAid, a disaster relief organization dedicated to assisting credit union staff and members in times of hardship.
From January 15 to February 15, we are collecting donations to provide relief and aid to those facing loss due to the wildfires. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in helping individuals and families rebuild their lives.

CUAid is the only national disaster relief program dedicated to supporting credit union communities during natural disasters. 100% of donations go directly to assisting those in need—ensuring that affected employees and volunteers get the help they deserve.
At Advance Financial, we believe in the power of community. Let’s come together to support those who have lost so much and help them rebuild stronger than ever.
Donate today and be a part of the recovery effort.
Thank you for your generosity!
At Advance Financial, we believe that investing in education is one of the best ways to support our community's future. That’s why we are proudly offering our $5,000 College Scholarship, designed to assist local students in achieving their academic dreams.
Each year, we award scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate academic achievement, leadership, and a commitment to their community. Whether they’re pursuing a degree at a university, college, or trade school, our goal is to help ease the financial burden of higher education and support their journey toward success.
We encourage all eligible students to apply and take advantage of this opportunity.
By supporting education, we’re not just helping students—we’re strengthening our entire community. Because when we invest in the next generation, we all thrive.
