Founded in 2015 by the visionary leadership of FirstLight Federal Credit Union, the FirstLight Community Foundation was created with one goal in mind, to be a lasting force for good in the region we proudly call home.
Anchored by three powerful pillars, Financial Education, Scholarships, and Home Affordability, our foundation is more than a mission statement. It’s a movement. Over the past decade, we’ve launched and grown programs that now serve as critical lifelines for our community. Programs so deeply rooted in our region that imagining life without them is simply not an option.
As we mark 10 years of meaningful impact, we look back with pride and forward with purpose. Our commitment remains stronger than ever: to uplift, educate, and empower one person, one family, one dream at a time.

"FirstLight’s scholarship didn’t just help me pay for college—it showed me that someone truly believed in my potential and bright future. That kind of unwavering support stays with you forever."
"After attending one of FirstLight’s workshops, I finally felt confident and in control of my finances. I’ve started saving for my daughter’s future education—and it feels truly amazing."
"Partnering with FirstLight has allowed us to reach more families and make a measurable difference. Their team is passionate, professional, and deeply committed to El Paso."
