The FirstLight Community Foundation is on a mission to elevate individual and community financial wellness.
Whether a two or four-year program through college, a university, or technical school, our volunteers are motivated to raise funds and awareness to assist our future leaders. Through your generosity, the foundation asks for your continued support so we can enable our young leaders in El Paso and Dona Ana County the the opportunities they deserve.
This year twenty six community scholarships and nine FirstLight Federal Credit Union dependent scholarships were awarded, for a total of thirty-five $1,000 dollar scholarships. The foundation increased its funding through fundraising efforts like El Paso Giving Day.
We extend the invitation to you so you help their dreams become a reality through a tax-deductible donation.
