Delta Community Credit Union Enhances Philanthropic Fund with Increased Grants for Local Nonprofits

Delta Community Credit Union Boosts Nonprofit Support with Increased Philanthropy Grants

Delta Community Credit Union, the largest credit union in Georgia, is taking significant strides in enhancing its community support initiatives. The organization has recently announced the opening of applications for its 2027 Philanthropic Fund Program, which is set to deliver unprecedented grants to local nonprofits.

In a move that underscores its commitment to community welfare, Delta Community has transformed its grant program, shifting from a previously tiered grant structure to providing 10 substantial grants of $15,000 each. This marks a significant increase in support compared to past offerings, ensuring that deserving organizations can receive more meaningful aid. As the CEO of Delta Community, Hank Halter, stated, "These larger grant amounts will ensure our Philanthropic Fund Program continues to deliver meaningful support to deserving organizations and allow them to do even more."

This initiative aims to partner specifically with metro Atlanta nonprofits that align with Delta Community's mission: helping families enhance their financial management and improve both physical and financial well-being, particularly for the youth. Nonprofits interested in applying for the grants can do so online at DeltaCommunityCU.com/PhilanthropicFund until August 31, 2026, at 5 p.m. ET.

Since its inception in 2013, the Philanthropic Fund Program has invested approximately $1.4 million across more than 260 organizations. These grants have helped various nonprofit partners deliver essential services, including educational opportunities, job training programs, and medical assistance. Delta Community believes that a robust support system for families can help uplift the entire community.

In addition to the Philanthropic Fund Program, Delta Community actively contributes to the local landscape through scholarships, partnerships with schools, free financial workshops, and support for chambers of commerce and civic organizations. Their efforts reflect a strong commitment not only to financial services but also to community enhancement and sustainability.

Founded in 1940, Delta Community Credit Union operates not just as a financial institution but as a proactive partner in community welfare. With assets reaching $9.2 billion and a membership base exceeding 540,000, the organization stands as a pillar of support for Atlanta residents. Delta Community welcomes those who live or work in metro Atlanta, alongside employees from more than 140 businesses including major names like Delta Air Lines, Chick-fil-A, RaceTrac, and UPS.
