Drive for Good
Your vehicle loan will help support Maine charities that uplift kids, families, animals, and the communities we all call home.
Where Every Vehicle Loan Gives Back
Maine State Credit Union donates $25 to a local charity for every vehicle loan opened. It’s part of our commitment to helping Maine communities thrive–not just through financial services, but through meaningful support where it’s needed most.
Charitable organizations receiving funds serve a range of important causes, including children and families, food insecurity, animal welfare, and the arts and local history. When you finance a vehicle with us, you’re not just getting a great loan—you’re giving back to the place we all call home.
Drive for Good is a way for Maine State CU to help local non-profit organizations. Through this program, each time a member is approved for a direct vehicle loan, $25 will be donated to the designated organization for the quarter and area (see below).
