We Give.

For over 90 years, our focus has always been on people — our members, our employees, and our communities. Through financial education programs, charitable giving, and volunteer projects, we strive to make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. We believe that when a community thrives, everyone wins. 

We Care.

Casual for a Cause

Every other payday Thursday, you'll see ECU employees supporting Casual for a Cause. This employee giving program helps smaller charities in extraordinary ways. Participating employees donate $1 per paycheck with a 100% match from ECU. Since 2020, ECU employees have donated $217,000 to forty-six organizations.

We Serve.

Volunteer Paid Time Off

At ECU, our commitment to service extends far beyond our walls! ECU employees receive Volunteer Paid Time Off to support the communities we serve, often through employee-designated volunteer events.  We are incredibly proud of our ECU team members who roll up their sleeves and volunteer to assist amazing organizations, making a lasting impact in our communities!  ECU employees are shining examples of what it means to have ECU BESIDE YOU.
