Marietta Daily Journal

The credit union will provide a total of $150,000 in grants to 20 organizations that support metro Atlanta children and families through health and human services; financial education; or science, technology, engineering, arts and math education.

With the disbursement of the 2025 awards, Delta Community will have invested over $1.3 million in nearly 250 nonprofit organizations since launching the grants program in 2014. In turn, these receiving organizations have used the funds to positively impact over 5.7 million people.

Grants of $10,000 each will be awarded to Atlanta Court Appointed Special Advocates; East Lake Foundation; Heart, Hand and Soul Project; Operation HOPE; Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia; Silence the Shame; and Usher’s New Look.

Grants of $7,500 each to 3Keys; Aurora Day Camp; Helping Other People Be Empowered (H.O.P.E.); Next Generation Men & Women; Ser Familia; and Special Needs Cobb.

Grants of $5,000 each to: Atlanta Children’s Day Shelter; BlazeSports America; ELEVATE Coweta Students; Girls on the Run Georgia; LaAmistad; Students Without Mothers; and The Study Hall.

Grants are finalized annually by a rotating committee of volunteer Delta Community employees from different functional areas. The committee reviews applications and makes awards based on the amount requested; the proposed use of the funds; and the alignment between the receiving organization’s mission and the Credit Union’s formal community investment strategy.

Applications for 2026 grants will be accepted between July 1 and Aug. 31, 2025. For more information about the initiative, visit www.deltacommunitycu.com/us/en/community.html.
