Past Event Highlights & Local News Coverage

Frontwave Give360 Program

At Frontwave Credit Union, we believe in the power of community and the impact of meaningful partnerships. That’s why we created Frontwave Give360 - a comprehensive, 360-degree approach to giving that ensures every dollar raised and every resource donated goes directly back into the local organizations that help strengthen the neighborhoods where we live and serve. From supporting families and veterans to empowering youth and more, our Give360 Program is all about making a difference where it matters most. 

One of our key initiatives under Give360 is the Pets Place Program. Through this effort, we’re dedicated to promoting pet adoptions, supporting local animal rescues with food and supplies, and spotlighting adoptable pets in our community. Whether it’s providing essential resources, funding critical rescue missions, or helping connect pets with loving homes, our mission is to improve the lives of animals and, in turn, strengthen the bond we share with our community. 

The Frontwave Foundation

Frontwave Give360 represents the credit union’s all-encompassing approach to giving, prioritizing immediate impact through partnerships, donations, and community events that uplift and strengthen our neighborhoods.

Where applicable, the Frontwave Foundation enhances these efforts by providing additional resources and support. However, the Foundation primarily focuses on leading long-term, strategic initiatives - such as scholarships, financial education and targeted programs for under-served populations. These initiatives are designed to create sustainable opportunities and drive meaningful, lasting change in our communities.

Our Past Success

Our most recent Pet Adoption Event, held on May 31, 2025, at our Oceanside branch, welcomed 750 community members and resulted in over 70 dogs and cats finding loving homes. Partnering with 8 local rescue organizations, Frontwave Credit Union sponsored more than $7,000 in adoption fees, while the Frontwave Foundation contributed an additional $7,000 in rescue donations - directly supporting the incredible work of our rescue partners.
