Programs

Georgia United Foundation supports programs that improve the quality of life for children and families, support schools and advance financial literacy.

School Crashers

School Crashers is our school makeover program that unites communities, media partners, donors and volunteers to complete improvement projects for deserving schools.

Junior Achievement

 

One of our largest financial education initiatives is our partnership with Junior Achievement (JA) of Georgia to educate middle school students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial well-being through experiential, hands-on programs.

Scholarships

To assist students in continuing their education, Georgia United Foundation funds several local scholarship opportunities including our annual Scholarship Competition for graduating high school seniors.

Can Hunger

Our annual canned food and donation drive benefits food banks in our communities and helps feed neighbors in need. Can Hunger not only provides healthy meals, it also raises awareness about hunger in our communities.

Wish Tree

Our annual Wish Tree program provides new toys and clothing for children in need through local Division of Family & Children Services and similar organizations during November and December.

Children’s Miracle Network

Children’s Miracle Network is the nonprofit organization that helps fundraise for children’s hospitals across the country - like Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, right here in Georgia. Join us in becoming an active supporter and fundraiser.

The Georgia United Foundation takes great pride in being active in our local communities and believes that giving back is not only the right way — but the only way.

What an amazing program! Thank you to all the School Crashers contributors for making our newly created faculty recharge room a reality for the staff at Windsor Forest Elementary School. The staff looks forward to recharging here to focus on increasing student motivation and achievement.
- Dr. Trikia G., Principal, Windsor Forest Elementary
Words could never express how amazing it feels to enter our renovated spaces. The difference between the before and afters is like night and day. The faculty, staff and students were totally shocked by the upgrades provided through the School Crashers Grant from Georgia United Foundation and program sponsors. I am a 23 year educator in the Dekalb County School District. This by far is the best thing that has ever happened to me as an employee. We cannot thank you enough for choosing us for this unique opportunity. The Salem Middle School family is eternally grateful.
- Tiffanie B., Head Counselor, Salem Middle School
What a wonderful gift from a local community partner. Your commitment to improving the quality of life for children and families in the communities that we live is evident through your donation. The $1,000 from Georgia United Foundation will be used to support one foster youth for a year.
- Susie W., Children First, Inc.
The Southeastern Credit Union Foundation values the partnership of Georgia United Credit Union. Your support plays a vital role in our efforts to promote financial education initiatives, offer scholarships and grants to assist credit union employees with the training they need to achieve professional excellence, provide financial relief for credit union staff and volunteers when disaster strikes, and support credit unions in achieving their own community development objectives. Words alone can’t express how appreciative we are!
- Bobbi G., Foundation Director, League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates
Because of the funding provided by the Georgia United Credit Union Foundation, combined with additional grant money from another donor, we will now be able to add security systems to our Gordon and Murray County Club locations. We appreciate your partnership and generosity!

I'm so appreciative of the "mission in action" behind the staff at Georgia United Credit Union. The staff at Georgia United are a living embodiment of giving back to the community and for that, the Y is truly grateful. Your gift of dollars and time has a big impact for many in our community's mind, body, and spirit.

Thank you so much for this grant. It will really go a long way to help us provide meals to the children in our community.

We rely on support from community partners like Georgia United Credit Union. With their funding, we will serve so many families during these trying times. Filling basic needs, like diapers, for families makes such a difference. Collaborations and partners are what help make our communities stronger.
