Making a Difference
The Five Star Credit Union Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization established and funded by Five Star Credit Union. The foundation will make a difference in communities Five Star Credit Union serves.
The Five Star Credit Union Foundation was established to be a community resource for financial training, to support programs for kids to succeed, and for communities to have a place to turn for help for its residents. Being a community leader is much more than offering financial services. The Five Star Credit Union Foundation will be a leader in helping its communities move forward.
The Five Star Credit Union Foundation made its first grants in 2022. The foundation awarded $30,000 in grant scholarships to three schools in Alabama and Georgia. Wallace Community College in Dothan, Southern Regional Technical College in Bainbridge, and College of Coastal Georgia each received a $10,000 grant. Each school will choose the recipients of the scholarships.
