The Raleigh, N.C.-based State Employees’ Credit Union (SECU) and the SECU Foundation have together donated $5 million to the local Dix Park Conservancy to help support the development of a 308-acre area site into an urban park just south of downtown Raleigh. It’s the largest combined donation from the credit union and the Foundation in its history.

According to a joint statement from the organizations, SECU ($52.1 billion in assets, 2.7 million members) gave $3 million and the SECU Foundation added $2 million for the park as a way to “honor the history and legacy of the land while bringing expansion to the landscape and surrounding communities.”
