The application is simple, requiring only a teacher’s name, grade level, school, contact information and wish list.
Winners from previous years used Adopt-A-Teacher funds to create a sensory room for special needs students, take class field trips, provide materials for class projects, restock classroom supplies, purchase digital resources and acquire photography equipment for the school yearbook.

Desert Financial Credit Union was founded in 1939 by a group of educators who believed in sharing success with their community. The credit union continues to share its success by giving back to local teachers. In 2021, Desert Financial gave back more than $130,000 to teachers and educational programs in Arizona.
