Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about how Notre Dame FCU's ELEVATE program works? We've answered some of our most common questions below.

  • Is there any additional cost to the nonprofit organizations or to Members?

    No. There is no cost to any nonprofit organization or Members. The products and services are identical to standard accounts. There are no additional fees and the rates are always the same as non-ELEVATE loans.

  • What if I do not see my nonprofit of choice on your list?

    Contact us and we will help your nonprofit qualify by reaching out to them about becoming an approved Select Employee Group of Notre Dame FCU.

  • May I deduct the ELEVATE rebate from my income taxes as a charitable donation?

    By using our ELEVATE program, you are authorizing Notre Dame FCU to send your rebate money directly to the nonprofit organization on your behalf. Please consult your tax advisor on how to best include this on your income tax statement.

One of the most pleasing aspects of our new relationship is that I truly feel that Notre Dame FCU is our partner. What a blessing it has been to our school community to work with them.
