At Directions Credit Union, we are not only dedicated to improving the lives of our members, but of all those people like you that make our communities strong through education. We realize that more often than not, teachers use their own funds to supply their classrooms with the necessary tools to teach their students.
To show our support, Directions will donate a total of up to $15,000 in Classroom Grants during the 2024-2025 school year. The individual grants will provide up to $500 each to be used for a variety of projects.
Only one grant awarded per person for each entry period.
