About Us

Beacon FCU History

Throughout our history, we’ve made serving our members top priority.

We’ve been looking out for you since March 1949, when we chartered as DuPont La Porte Federal Credit Union. By 2005, we had officially become Beacon Federal Credit Union. But what has never changed is our commitment to courteous, efficient and sound financial services for our members.

Those standards apply now and into the future.

Once you become a Beacon FCU member, you remain a member for life. You’ll love our professional, friendly service that makes you feel like part of our extended family. And as a locally owned and operated credit union, professionals who know you, care about your financial well-being make all loan decisions.

Community involvement is important to our management and staff. Beacon FCU is involved in local school districts; the La Porte, Baytown and Hispanic Chambers of Commerce; the La Porte Livestock Show; the Baytown Youth Fair; the La Porte Police Officer’s Association; high school CU4 Reality Fairs, and many more community groups and events.

The world is always changing, and Beacon FCU is ready for the future with the latest technology and products. One thing that will never change is our high level of professional service and commitment to you.

Beacon FCU Board of Directors

Proud volunteers

Members of the Beacon FCU Board of Directors are volunteers focused on meeting member needs and guiding the credit union into the future. We hold elections annually to welcome new board members.

Community Funding

Beacon Federal Credit Union remains true to the “people helping people” credit union philosophy.

That’s why we’re always eager to support worthwhile causes that help improve the lives of people in our community. This includes financial and resource donations, staff volunteering and scholarship/education programs.

Funding Requests

To make a request, submit a Beacon Federal Credit Union Donation/Sponsorship Request Form at the beginning of the year, at least 60 days in advance of the donation/sponsorship deadline. We will evaluate requests received in the final week of each month. A decision to deny a request does not imply that the program is not worthy. Rather, it indicates the request does not fall within our giving guidelines or funding priorities, or that funds are simply unavailable.

Please note that we will only consider requests that meet Beacon Federal Credit Union’s funding guideline criteria. All proposals are subject to fund availability.
