Delta Community Credit Union Announces 2014 Philanthropic Fund

Remaining committed to supporting the communities it serves, Delta Community Credit Union, Georgia’s largest credit union, expands its community involvement efforts by announcing the Delta Community Credit Union Philanthropic Fund, an annual grant program which provides financial support to registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations.  Through this grant program, Delta Community will support organizations whose purpose is to help families manage their household finances and improve the physical and financial well-being of young people, including science, technology, engineering and math programs (S.T.E.M.), fiscal management, youth development and more.
