About the foundation
The Georgia United Foundation was incorporated in 2016 as a nonprofit corporation in the state of Georgia. In August 2017, the Internal Revenue Service approved the Foundation as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Our Foundation partners with Georgia United Credit Union team members and volunteers to fund and deliver impactful programs across the state.

We support programs that improve the quality of life for children and families, support schools and advance financial well-being. Programs funded by the Foundation include School Crashers,
Junior Achievement,
Can Hunger,
Wish Tree, annual Scholarship programs and
Service Days. Visit our Community Impact page to see how.
Award-winning community service
The Georgia United Foundation has been honored to receive recognition for excellence in our community service programming from state, national and international organizations over the years. We recently won the Communitas Awards in 2021, an international awards competition focusing on an organization's acts of service. Georgia United team members are given up to three workdays to volunteer for local schools and charitable organizations and we are grateful that many of them choose to volunteer for the foundation's School Crashers, Junior Achievement and “Be the Difference” service days.
We have been awarded first place in the Dora Maxwell Social Responsibility & Community Service Award for the State of Georgia over 25 times and our School Crashers program has received the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Marketing & Business Development Council’s Diamond Award nationally six times.
