We Love Giving Back!

At Aeroquip Credit Union, giving back isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live every day. Rooted in the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People,” our team stays committed to making a meaningful impact right here in the communities we serve.

Partnering with Local Causes

Each year, Aeroquip Credit Union selects community organizations to support through volunteer work and fundraising events. From jean days and popcorn fundraisers, our goal is always to raise both awareness and funds for important causes. These charity partners have included local nonprofits such as:

Jackson District Library

Grow Jackson

New Smiles, New Beginnings

Jackson County Animal Shelter

Michigan Works!

…and several others who are making a difference every day.

Seeing our team and members come together to contribute, show up, and lend support is one of the highlights of the year. Whether it’s volunteering time or cheering on those in need, this work reflects our belief that stronger communities begin with shared effort.

Investing in the Future: The John Park III Scholarship

One of the ways we give back to our members directly, especially our younger ones, is through the John Park III Scholarship. Each year, Aeroquip Credit Union awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who demonstrate academic achievement and a commitment to advancing their education.

This scholarship is more than financial support; it’s our way of celebrating students who are working hard to realize their potential. Applicants are evaluated on academics, essay responses, recommendations, and community involvement, showcasing well-rounded leaders of tomorrow.

Why It Matters

We believe community involvement and educational opportunity go hand in hand. When we support local non-profits, volunteer at community events, and directly invest in our members’ education, we help build stronger, more vibrant futures for everyone. As we continue to grow, so too does our passion for giving back.
