At Rize Credit Union, we’re proud to partner with nonprofits, government agencies, and social impact brands to help youth in foster care as they overcome unique challenges – and the additional barriers they often face when trying to build financial security. In addition to specialized accounts and flexible ID options, we also donate a Comfort Cases backpack filled with essentials, including an insanely soft Barely Canadian hoodie, to celebrate and support their journey.
Make an even bigger difference
Our Impact Certificate lets you earn a competitive interest rate while we make a donation to your choice of one of three inspiring causes – including support for youth in foster care.
Why Comfort Cases?
Too often, children in foster care are handed a trash bag for their belongings. They deserve better. A Comfort Case is a duffel bag or backpack filled with essentials like cozy pajamas, a blanket, a plush stuffed animal, a hygiene kit, books or journals, and more – plus a Barely Canadian hoodie for warmth and love. Altogether, it’s over $400 in thoughtfully chosen items that remind each child they are seen, valued, and never alone.
For every Rize Federal Credit Union (Rize CU) membership opened with a unique Social Security number, Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, or Foreign Identification number, Rize CU will make a donation to Echoes of Hope, Foster Nation, or Kids Save, among other organizations. The donation is paid by Rize CU and goes to the organizations in the form of a Comfort Case with a Barely Canadian “The Insanely Soft Hoodie”. Donation will have no impact on membership.
