Founded by a group of educators in 1928, California Coast Credit Union is the oldest credit union in San Diego. The nonprofit has more than $2.3 billion in assets, over 150,000 members, and 25 branches across San Diego and Riverside Counties. To support local education, California Coast established the Cal Coast Cares Foundation in 2015 through which it awards over $60,000 a year in scholarships to local students pursuing higher education and small grants to teachers to support projects in a STREAM field (i.e., Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Math). California Coast also offers a range of free financial workshops designed to help members better understand and manage financial resources.
