A history of service
California Credit Union and North Island Credit Union are proud supporters of the education, military and local communities. Together, we have had the privilege of serving our locals for over 85 years. Throughout those years, we have been honored to partner with organizations and institutions that share our values and desire to give back to our communities in the best way we can.
Our partnerships with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Los Angeles County Office of Education and other local educational institutions run deep. It is through these partnerships that we have been able to identify ways in which we can support our education community – inspiring us to launch our annual College Scholarship Program in 2005 and our semi-annual Teacher Grant Program in 2012.
North Island Credit Union was born out of an eagerness to provide banking resources to military and civil service personnel. Since then, we have been fortunate to partner with other military serving organizations such as Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR), the USS Midway, Wings Over America, Wounded Warriors, and other local institutions.

We are proud to support the Los Angeles and San Diego chapters of Habitat for Humanity. California Credit Union volunteers participated in the Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles Team Build Day on October 21, 2021. Habitat for Humanity assists low-income, active military and veterans purchase or make improvements to their existing home by coordinating a collaboration of community volunteers and building suppliers.
As the Premier Sponsor of the Classroom of the Future Foundation (CFF), we were proud to present the prestigious 2021 Innovation in Education Impact Award to Adobe Bluff Elementary School (ABES) for its Chinese Mandarin language and cultural immersion programs. We are honored to help fund a local San Diego career development program that empowers teachers, students and families throughout their K-12 educational experience.
Created in 2012 to help educators fund innovative learning opportunities for their students, we have awarded $145,000 in grants to 290 teachers since the program’s inception.
We are proud to partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego, Los Angeles, Variety (Boyle Heights), San Fernando Valley and Hollywood. California Credit Union participated in the annual Back 2 School Drive donating 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to elementary and middle school students. The Boys & Girls Clubs provides underserved children ages 5-18 with quality programs and guidance in a safe, affordable and fun environment. Their programs focus on academic success, character development and healthy lifestyles.
Created in 2005 to recognize outstanding students within local communities, we have awarded over $355,000 in scholarships since the start of the program.
We have been an active supporter of the USS Midway Museum since 2015, donating approximately $90,000 to further the organization’s youth and community programs, which include the Midway’s No Child Left Ashore Scholarship Fund and the Midway’s Leadership Academy.
