Delta Community Credit Union, Georgia's largest credit union with more than $5 billion in assets, announces a call for grant applications for the 2018 Delta Community Philanthropic Fund. The program provides support to registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations committed to financial literacy and improving the lives of young people, including educational programs focused on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, fiscal management and youth development.

The Philanthropic Fund will distribute a total of $100,000 throughout 2018, demonstrating the Credit Union's commitment to invest in the communities it serves.

"Past recipients tell us these grants help them make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need," said Delta Community Chief Executive Officer Hank Halter. "We understand how these organizations benefit individuals and families and, ultimately, support the ongoing success of the communities where we are privileged to operate."

Since its inception in 2013, the Delta Community Philanthropic Fund has invested more than $320,000 in 84 organizations throughout metro Atlanta. In addition to the Philanthropic Fund, Delta Community invests in local communities through school sponsorships and support of chambers of commerce, non-profit groups, industry partners and civic organizations.

The application window is from May 1 to June 30 at 5 p.m. All applicants will receive a written response by Nov. 3, 2017. Interested organizations may visit www.DeltaCommunityCU.com/PhilanthropicFund to review grant guidelines and submit an application.
