Community

Here, Community Matters.

At Rave Financial, we’re rooted in Southeast Texas, and our dedication goes far beyond banking. We invest our time, resources, and energy into local causes, events, and partnerships that strengthen the place we all call home. From supporting charitable organizations to empowering individuals through financial education, we believe that giving back is the best way to move our community forward—together.

We give $25,000 in scholarships annually.

Every year, we give ten scholarships totaling $25,000. Scholarships have been awarded to students in various counties in Southeast Texas! We are thrilled to continue this program to help make a difference in our student's lives.

We work with some pretty cool organizations.

Our community is vital to our purpose. We value people helping people, and we are honored to sponsor many great organizations in Southeast Texas, such as United Way, Southeast Texas Food Bank, American Cancer Society, Boys Haven, CASA, and many others. We are proud to work alongside these wonderful organizations to make the Southeast Texas community better.

We teach financial health for free.

Whether you are a business owner, school teacher, or Human Resources manager, we can work with you! Our team travels around the Southeast Texas area and speaks to employees, students, and the community about financial topics such as how to build a budget, improve your credit score, car buying, home buying and more.

Testimonials

Rave Financial’s contribution to our community begins with its core value of “people helping people”. The Credit Union has not only provided critical financial support to United Way but has also supported United Way and our 20 partner agencies through countless volunteer hours by credit union employees. These contributions are helping United Way build a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Rave Financial is a community Food Drive Partner of the Southeast Texas Food Bank. Members and staff from locations across Southeast Texas have donated thousands, both in pounds of food and in funds. I would like to say “Thank You” to all the Rave Financial participants who care enough to share with us each year.

Beaumont ISD business partners are valuable in so many ways through their support of our campuses. Rave Financial established a partnership with Vincent Middle School in 2017. They successfully set the bar on how to positively build a mutually beneficial relationship between a business and campus. When we host an event at Vincent Middle School, Rave Financial provides support, volunteers, in-kind donations, and more. Upon entering the campus, you can't miss the huge wall display with the credit union logo and monthly student and staff recognitions. With this unique exposure, families, staff and students have the opportunity to build trust with Rave Financial. Our partners in education are committed to building a better community through their involvement and we appreciate Rave Financial for investing in BISD!
