Our Mission: To empower financial readiness of military and veteran communities to support their overall wellness.
About Us: Founded in 2013, Hanscom FCU Charitable Foundation has evolved to meet the changing needs of our community. As a 501©(3) non-profit organization, we initially focused on supporting organizations dedicated to the health, education, and well-being of children, homelessness prevention, and programs for veterans and their families.
Today, we continue this legacy of service, with a renewed commitment to enhancing the financial readiness and overall wellness of our military and veteran communities. Our efforts are aimed at creating a robust foundation for their future.
What Makes Us Unique? One-hundred percent of what we raise is donated with nothing deducted for administrative fees. We believe in direct impact, where every contribution makes a tangible difference.
Our Impact: We have given to organizations within our footprint that improve the lives of others.
