Foundation Credit Union
Foundation Credit Union has been a trusted financial institution in Springfield since 1933, when it was established as the Springfield Teachers Credit Union to serve employees of Springfield Public Schools. For more than 85 years, the organization has remained committed to supporting financial well-being, education, and community growth. Its continued evolution, including an expansion in 2012, has allowed Foundation Credit Union to serve members across multiple counties in southwest Missouri while staying rooted in its educational origins.
That strong connection to education continues to guide the credit union’s community involvement. Foundation Credit Union has long supported initiatives within Springfield Public Schools and shares a belief that investing in education creates stronger individuals, families, and communities.
At Ozarks Tech, Foundation Credit Union extends this commitment through its support of the Ozarks Tech Foundation. In 2023, the credit union established a scholarship to assist students in pursuing their educational goals, in addition to participating in the LEAGUE Employee Giving Campaign. Their partnership reflects a shared dedication to expanding access to education and supporting student success.
