Local Artist, Local Causes Debit Card Giveback Program

With Arizona Federal Credit Union’s Local Artist, Local Causes Visa® Debit Card, each time you make a purchase with the card, the credit union will make a donation to a community fund that helps support nonprofits throughout Arizona.

Support Local

When you choose to bank locally instead of at one of the big banks, you help keep more money in Arizona and ensure Arizona residents and small businesses have access to financial services and capital.

Arizona Federal Credit Union Community Fund

We’ve heard from our members, and they love to support local nonprofits through our debit card giveback programs. That's why we created the Local Artist, Local Causes debit card.

You Spend. We donate.

With our Local Artist, Local Causes debit card, every time you make a purchase, the credit union makes a contribution to the Arizona Federal Community Fund.

Who gets the money?

Twice a year, the funds are granted to smaller nonprofit organizations throughout Arizona to support their critical programs.
