We provide financial support, education, and other assistance to local nonprofit organizations throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara, California counties.
In 2015, Ventura County Credit Union (VCCU) formed its own non-profit 501(c)(3) to foster goodwill and charitable giving in the communities served by VCCU. The idea was inspired by many years of giving to local non-profit organizations and causes.
