Serving Those Who Serve Us for Over 70 Years.

The 1st Advantage Foundation’s mission is to fulfill the unmet needs in all branches of our local military community. The Foundation was formed to honor our credit union roots in Fort Eustis, Virginia, and supplement the numerous community efforts 1st Advantage takes on each year.

Your Partner in the Community

Because of our rich history of giving back to the local area we serve, we’re passionate about volunteer work and donating to those who need it most.
