The Paso del Norte Community Foundation is proud to recognize FirstLight Federal Credit Union (FCU) as one of this year’s Partners in Philanthropy. More than a financial institution, FirstLight has built a legacy of giving back by investing in nonprofits, supporting families, and creating opportunities for future generations.

Through the FirstLight Community Foundation, the credit union helps nonprofits grow and thrive by supporting designated funds, endowments, professional development, and internships. It also empowers families through the HomeMatch Program, which matches member savings to help achieve homeownership.

FirstLight invests in education through its annual Community Foundation Golf Classic, raising scholarships for graduating seniors, and encourages volunteerism and civic engagement guided by its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

A cornerstone of this work is FirstLight’s partnership with the Paso del Norte Community Foundation, which amplifies its impact across the region. “The Foundation’s experienced and professional team makes them an invaluable partner in enhancing the quality of life in the area,” said Dania Angeles, Community Impact Manager.

Through every initiative, FirstLight demonstrates that financial wellness and community well-being go hand in hand, helping shape a stronger, more resilient future for the Borderplex.We thank FirstLight Federal Credit Union for championing philanthropy and for joining us in building a vibrant, thriving community.
