Community Involvement

Community Involvement

Community is at the heart of the Credit Union movement. During our 80+ year history, Bluestone FCU has been committed to supporting our local communities and many non-profits, sports teams and schools, as well as offering our employees the ability to earn additional PTO hours by volunteering. Read on to learn how Bluestone gets involved with the community.

Bluestone's Community Involvement

What is Bluestone’s Cooperative Culture?

Bluestone FCU has been a long-time supporter of the Sioux Falls Stampede. In 2023 we asked ourselves, “how can our sponsorship dollars not only support the Stampede, but also our community as a whole?” This led us to create Bluestone’s Cooperative Culture, an initiative together with the Stampede that shines a light on the many non-profits that make our communities better each day.
