Delta Community Credit Union, Georgia’s largest credit union, is now accepting applications for its 2026 Philanthropic Fund Program. Through its annual initiative, Delta Community will award a total of $150,000 in grants to support 20 metro Atlanta nonprofit organizations that align with the credit union’s commitment to help families manage household finances and improve the physical and financial well-being of youth.
“Community investment and engagement are essential to good corporate citizenship,” said Hank Halter, Delta Community’s CEO. “We allocate a minimum of two percent of our annual projected earnings to local community development as a means to foster the ongoing prosperity and success of the municipalities and counties where Delta Community operates. Although our investments take many forms, our annual philanthropic grants have been fundamental to our approach for 13 years.”
Grant awards of $10,000, $7,500 and $5,000 will be awarded to selected organizations. Applications must be submitted online at DeltaCommunityCU.com/PhilanthropicFund by 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 29, 2025.
Since launching the Philanthropic Fund Program in 2013, Delta Community has invested approximately $1.3 million in more than 240 organizations that provide educational opportunities, job and career training, and medical and human services support to people in need. Delta Community also invests in local communities through scholarships, school partnerships, and support for chambers of commerce and civic organizations.
