Our Mission
We will strive to improve the quality of life for children in need.
DCU for Kids is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charitable foundation founded in 2005 by DCU - better known as Digital Federal Credit Union.

Some of the organizations that we support include Autism Speaks, Special Olympics, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Rise Above, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boys & Girls Clubs, Jumpstart for Children, Inc. and many others.
By funding support services, enrichment, and development activities, mentoring and education programs, medical research, and by providing scholarships, DCU for Kids is making a positive and lasting impact on thousands of children throughout DCU branch communities and beyond.
DCU for Kids net fundraising revenue is at 98%, all of which goes directly to children in need. All administrative and volunteer support is donated by DCU.
