Tucson Federal Credit Union

In 1937 a group of teachers with a vision came together to form a financial cooperative that could better serve the financial needs of Tucson’s school employees and their families. A year later, Tucson Teachers Federal Credit Union (TTFCU) was serving 38 members and had acquired assets of nearly $349. School employees volunteered their time to run the credit union until 1941, when the Board Treasurer was put on salary and the credit union moved into the basement of Tucson High School. Twenty years later, TTFCU had grown to 2,220 members, $1.8 million in assets, and six full-time employees.

TFCU’s true pride lies in our ties to the community. We strive to pay it forward through education, philanthropy, and volunteerism. Below is a sample of organizations we’ve contributed to through our many programs and initiatives.

Improving the community in which we serve is our top priority. In addition to corporate contributions, we donate hundreds of hours each year to worthy causes throughout Pima County.

Each year, every full-time Tucson Federal Credit Union employee is granted eight hours of paid volunteer time to use at the local non-profit organization of their choosing. Many go above and beyond this call, serving as advocates for volunteerism in our community; they’re known as TFCU’s Team Make a Difference.

Whether it’s caring for shelter animals, building houses, assisting at toy and food drives, or being positive role models for at risk children, TFCU employees make great things happen! See below for our latest year to date volunteerism totals.
