SECU MD Foundation Launches Promising Futures Fund to Support Maryland Students

The SECU MD Foundation, an independent nonprofit affiliated with SECU, Maryland's largest state-chartered credit union, has launched the Promising Futures Fund, its first-ever fundraising campaign focused on engaging SECU credit union members.

This is a new SECU MD Foundation initiative designed to engage members in building stronger Maryland communities by supporting programs for students across the state. In celebration of SECU's 75th anniversary, the credit union will match the first $7,500 in donations to jump-start the fundraising impact.

100 percent of all donations to the Promising Futures Fund directly support the Foundation's scholarship and financial wellness programs. These programs include age-appropriate financial wellness education for students, including interactive workshops, classroom content, and other student and educator resources, as well as college scholarship awards, which help Maryland students access higher education without sacrificing their financial well-being.

"We are thrilled to announce our first-ever member-funded campaign with the Promising Futures Fund, inviting our members to come together and invest in the next generation. A strong financial foundation today shapes what's possible tomorrow, and we believe that financial well-being should be attainable by all," said Charlotte Owsianny, Executive Director of the SECU MD Foundation. "SECU's commitment to the community has never been stronger, and the 1:1 match of the first $7,500 in donations to this fund will amplify the impact of member support and help even more students."

Rooted in the belief that every individual deserves the chance to achieve their full potential, the Promising Futures Fund offers SECU members a direct, easy, and impactful way to give back. This member-powered fund supports scholarships and financial wellness education programs for students of all ages and stages, helping make a brighter, more financially secure future within reach.
