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.
For the month of May… Help us make an even bigger impact!
May is National Foster Care Awareness Month – and there’s no better time to join us. When anyone opens an account through this page, Rize will donate a Comfort Case and Barely Canadian hoodie to a youth in foster care! This is in addition to what youth in foster care receive when they open their own account.
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.
Another way to make a 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.
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.
