Community Involvement

Dort Financial Credit Union has extended a helping hand to the community since its founding in 1951. We are honored to be a part of this community and the surrounding counties as well, through our philanthropy and volunteer efforts.

Dort Financial is grounded in the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” and building throughout the community. In 2023, Dort Financial donated over $300,000 to support our communities, and team members volunteered at more than 60 events. From handing out promotional items at Flint City Bucks and Flint Firebirds games and sponsoring banners and scoreboards at local schools, to hosting blood drives and raising funds for Old Newsboys of Flint, LACADA, and Rainbow Connection through campaigns, you can count on Dort Financial Credit Union to make a lasting impact on all aspects of the community.

We are grateful to be a part of the communities surrounding our branch locations, and look forward to expanding our community involvement throughout the state of Michigan. Some of our current community partners include the YMCA of Greater Flint, Catholic Charities of Shiawassee and Genesee Counties, Whaley Children's Center, Sloan Museum of Discovery and Hurley Children’s Hospital.

Harry Awdish Memorial Student Scholarship Program

The credit union movement was founded on the philosophy of “People Helping People”. In keeping with our philosophy, Dort Financial Credit Union’s student scholarship program was established to help our members achieve their higher educational goals. We are offering fifteen (15) $2,000 scholarships this year to graduating high school seniors or older students seeking to further their education after high school.

Snowman Sales

Each year, Dort Financial Credit Union chooses two local charities and raises funds for those charities during the month of November and December. LACADA of Lapeer and the Rainbow Connection of Oakland County were chosen as the two charity recipients.

Members were encouraged to donate dollar amounts to the Snowman Sales when they visited a branch during the campaign months. In 2023, members helped us raise  $32,647 for LACADA and Rainbow Connection.
