Volusia County Schools has joined Addition Financial Credit Union’s School District Debit Card Program and launched a co-branded Volusia County Schools debit card that will support schools in the district, according to a press release.
Under the program, Addition Financial pledges to donate 3 cents back to Volusia County Schools for every transaction made.
VCS said in the press release that it is "thrilled for the partnership and the positive impact it will have for students and the district."
“Volusia County Schools is appreciative of our partnership with Addition Financial Credit Union and excited about the debut of the VCS debit card for our community,” Superintendent Dr. Carmen Balgobin said. “This opportunity will help support programs across the district to enhance student achievement. It is through partners such as Addition Financial that we excel as a school district and a community.”
VCS is the fourth Central Florida school district to participate in the program since it began in 2009.
“Educators founded Addition Financial 87 years ago, and we are proud to honor our commitment to supporting students, alongside tremendous partners like Volusia County Schools,” said Kevin Miller, president and CEO of Addition Financial Credit Union. “The school district debit card program is an easy, yet significant way members of our credit union can help us give back to local education.”
Addition Financial donated $103,071 through the program in 2023 to Orange County Public Schools, Seminole County Public Schools, and the School District of Osceola County.
