Community Impact

We're here to help communities thrive.
About People’s/Community Impact

Community Giving

At People’s Credit Union, we believe we have a responsibility to help make our communities a better place and that starts with how we help our neighbors and neighborhoods thrive every day. As part of our culture, there are guiding principles that help us live our philosophy of “people helping people.”

As a local community credit union, we support many nonprofit charitable agencies and organizations within our communities through sponsorships and donations. We are purposeful about our support and have several concentrations that align with our community priorities.

Our Areas of Focus

  • Economic & Community Development
  • Environmental Sustainability & Stewardship
  • Health & Human Services
  • Youth & Educational Programs
  • Arts & Humanities

Sponsorships and Donations

Guidelines for Submitting a Request for a Sponsorship or Donation

All applications must be made online via our website portal. Please make sure all fields are completed in full and all supporting documentation is provided.

Please know that all decisions to approve a sponsorship or donation are based on available resources and the Credit Union’s priorities and criteria. Completed online applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. Organizations will be notified via letter or email of request approval or whether we were unable to approve a request.

If you would like to apply for support for your nonprofit organization, please visit our Sponsorship & Donation Request Form.

Community Enhancement

At People’s Credit Union, we believe that supporting and volunteering in our local communities is one of the most important things we can do. We are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the people we serve, and we believe that by working together, we can achieve great things. That’s why we actively seek out opportunities to support local charities and community organizations, and encourage our employees and members to get involved as well. We believe that by giving back, we can help make our communities stronger, healthier, and more vibrant places to live and work.

Employee Volunteerism

People’s Credit Union employees work hard to support our communities. Employees of the Credit Union volunteer their time year-round to help support local nonprofit organizations, along with getting to know our members a little better outside of our branches.

Investing in Our Community

As a community credit union we support many not-for-profit charitable agencies and organizations within the communities we serve through sponsorships and donations. For more information on our commitment to the communities we serve, you can view our Community Reinvestment Act Statement.
