Employee Giving

Blue Jean Fridays Fund | Community Donation Grants

Giving back isn't learned. It's in our jeans.

Every Friday our employees donate cash to our Blue Jean Fridays Fund for the opportunity to dress in denim. The money benefits local organizations through a grant program, with over $58,000 donated to date.

Volunteering Where It Counts

While our products and services undoubtedly assist our members with their finances, we firmly believe that a generous spirit holds even greater value. At Education First, our employees take great pride in actively giving back to the community. Which is why we call them our VIPs!

Starting in 2015, our Volunteer Investment Program (VIP) has provided Education First employees the opportunity to donate their time - off the clock, of course - back to the communities where our members live and work.
