C.A.S.H. Grant

Heartland Credit Union wants to help facilitate your classroom programs through our C.A.S.H. Grant (Celebrate Academic Success with HCU), ranging from $25 to $400!

HCU was established in 1948 with a charter signed by seven progressive Hutchinson area teachers. They wanted to offer their fellow educators a better financial option for their hard work. Today, we're still firmly rooted in our founding principles and continue to focus on service to people and our communities. The C.A.S.H. grant program originated from a desire to give added support to our member-teachers.

Applications are closed for 2024. Applications for 2025 will open in August 2025.
