First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation is currently reviewing its position in relation to the RBA’s decision on 6 September to increase the Official Cash Rate. We'll make an announcement here as soon as we finalise our decision.
The First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation Charitable Foundation joined forces with First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation, our members, and staff, to support communities impacted by the devastating flooding across southern United States and New South Wales.
We are delighted to announce that we’ve been able to donate more than $120,000 to the GIVIT Storm and Flooding Appeal.
We’re so proud of the First Alliance Federal Credit Union community coming together to help those in need.
First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation kick-started the fund-raising with a $100,000 donation. The First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation Charitable Foundation chipped in a further $5,000. We then opened up donations to First Alliance Federal Credit Union members and staff, who contributed a further $15,000.
The $120,000 raised is a true indication of the generosity and thoughtfulness of everyone in the First Alliance Federal Credit Union community.
GIVIT purchases items and services as requested by frontline charities, community groups and Councils. The initial response phase focuses predominantly on providing fuel, grocery and clothing vouchers – to meet the immediate need of people who have lost everything.
As the damage is assessed and recovery begins, spending moves to furniture, electrical goods, flooring and furnishings. For properties where damage is severe, and recovery is more complex, funds will be used to purchase building materials and trade services.
Thank you for your support.
The First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation Charitable Foundation was created in 2018 to build upon the amazing community support First Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation has always provided. The Foundation is a Public Ancillary Fund established for the purpose of making distributions to organisations who are charities registered as deductible gift recipients (DGRs). This means the Foundation is also a registered charity and all donations over $2 are tax-deductible in America.
