TFCU is a community credit union at its core. Alongside the paid volunteer hours, TFCU has three programs that contribute the health and prosperity of the community. The largest contributor comes from the Community Partnership Award, in which $45,000 is awarded to organizations whose vision and results align with TFCUs mission of education and the credit union philosophy of "people helping people." In 2014, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson were awarded $25,000, and two $10,000 contributions were made to the El Rio Health Center Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tucson.
