Delta Community Credit Union is now accepting applications for its 2027 Philanthropic Fund Program. As Georgia’s largest credit union, Delta Community is enhancing its annual grant program to strengthen its community impact. This year, the credit union is replacing its previous tiered award structure with 10 grants of $15,000 each, increasing the amount awarded to each recipient.

“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,” said Hank Halter, Delta Community's CEO. “As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are proud to deepen our investment in local nonprofits that address the needs of metro Atlanta families and strengthen the communities we are privileged to serve.”

Through the Philanthropic Fund Program, Delta Community seeks to partner with metro Atlanta nonprofits that share its commitment to helping families manage their household finances and improve the physical and financial well-being of young people. Applications must be submitted online at DeltaCommunityCU.com/PhilanthropicFund by 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 31, 2026.

Delta Community has invested approximately $1.4 million in more than 260 organizations since launching the Philanthropic Fund Program in 2013. Together, these nonprofit partners have supported individuals and families by providing educational opportunities, job and career training, and medical and human services support to people in need. In addition to the Philanthropic Fund Program, Delta Community also invests in local communities through scholarships, school partnerships, free financial workshops and support for chambers of commerce and civic organizations.
