With a recent donation, PenFed Credit Union has once again demonstrated its commitment and support of the military.

The $19 billion credit union based in Alexandria, Va., donated $100,000 to the National Defense University Foundation.  According to PenFed President/CEO James Schenck, corporate giving to the NDU Foundation represents “a deliberate investment in the national defense community.”

“As one of the world's leading joint, international and interagency educational institutions, NDU prepares leaders from across the globe to address security challenges,” Schenck said.

In addition to being a proud NDU Foundation partner, PenFed has also supported the foundation's annual American Patriot Award Gala, which recognizes exceptional leaders who have made extraordinary efforts to enhance human security and global stability.

“We enjoy a great relationship with PenFed Credit Union. Their tradition of serving the military gives them a unique perspective on our mission. Partnerships like the one our foundation has with PenFed are essential to creating the resources needed to properly develop future generations of leaders in the global security space,” Cathleen Pearl, president/CEO of the NDU Foundation, said.
