Supporting Education
and Community Growth

At District Credit Union, we are dedicated to supporting education and community growth through our partnership with the Aspire Foundation of Colorado. Together, we are committed to bridging the education gap and empowering students and educators with the resources they need to succeed.

The ASPIRE Foundation of Colorado, established in 2019 by The District Credit Union, is dedicated to transforming education and empowering the future of Aurora and Cherry Creek School Districts. What began as a mission to support local schools has evolved into a dynamic platform for change, offering teacher grants, student scholarships, and hands-on financial literacy education.

Through a commitment to fostering growth and collaboration, we strive to create meaningful opportunities and a brighter future for our community.
