Impacting our Communities
I is for Impact
Freedom First is well-known for our community impact. But you may not know just how far-reaching that impact goes for our region's economic development, thriving nonprofit community, and livability.
Whether it's through targeted lending, economic development, financial education, community outreach, or volunteer efforts, our goal is to help make a difference in the lives of those we serve. We invite you to read on and learn more about the impact Freedom First is making in the communities we call home.
Our Community Impact
As a Community Development Credit Union(Opens in a new Window), Freedom First believes in the power of community and understands the impact that our actions can have on the lives of those around us.
Play for Purpose
As a part of our community give-back initiatives, our local market leaders in the NRV and Lynchburg pair up with Virginia Tech and Liberty athletics to donate to local nonprofits.
Events & Sponsorship
In an effort to be good corporate citizens, we work with local nonprofits, community organizations, and our regional networks to support the community events you know and love.
Targeted Lending & Historic Preservation
Freedom First is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), meaning we make sure to deploy much-needed loan dollars into historically under-resourced communities. We also take pride in financing the historic preservation and community revitalization efforts in our region.
