Philanthropic Fund Grants Awarded in May

We recently presented the final grants from our 2024 Philanthropic Fund, totaling $22,500 to the following organizations:

Cobb Collaborative, Inc. (pictured) is a nonprofit focused on improving the wellbeing of children and families. The $5,000 grant awarded will be used to expand its monthly Mayor's Reading Club project, which creates monthly reading kits. Each kit contains a book that corresponds with a theme, a hands-on activity that families can do together, an instructional insert with other ideas to support learning and resources from the Cobb County Public Library. The grant will also help expand and maintain the organization's ‘Little Free Libraries.’

Essential2Life, Inc. is a nonprofit that provides students with leadership and life skills. Essential2Life will use the $7,500 grant to support its Youth Financial Literacy Initiative, which encourages students to set life and financial goals and provides them with the basics of money management to increase their financial literacy.

College AIM is a nonprofit that provides students with expert college and financial aid coaching, helping them explore and access college and career opportunities. The organization also advocates for structural changes that will make the paths to and through college more equitable. College AIM will use its $5,000 award to support its College Access Program, which helps high school students get into technical, associate and bachelor’s degree programs.

The Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully (C.H.O.I.C.E.S) is a resource center for families of children in underserved communities that are clinically diagnosed and at-risk of obesity. The nonprofit provides nutrition education via cooking classes to those who can afford to buy food, and mobile food pantries to those who cannot. The organization will use the $5,000 grant award for its “Cooking with C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Family Workshop Series” that teaches children healthy food habits and culinary skills to prepare nutrient dense foods at home, while teaching parents how to make healthy eating fit their budgets.

The Delta Community Philanthropic Fund has invested a total of $150,000 this year to 20 metro Atlanta non-profit organizations that support the physical and financial needs of people who live within the communities we serve.

Cool Cash Camps

Raise money-smart kids with the help of our Financial Education Center! This month, we’re offering two interactive youth camps to teach children all about money, with in-person and virtual options available. The Elementary School Camp, for grades 2-5, focuses on the basics of money while having fun. We'll discuss how to earn money and identify sources of income, create a savings goal/plan, discuss the difference between wants and needs and explore ways to give to those in need. In the Middle School Camp, for grades 6-8, students will learn to apply financial lessons through a real-life simulation and build on money basics. We will explore how to prepare for earning money and create a real budget. This lesson will cover saving, budgeting, insurance, credit basics and first steps to investing. To register, visit DeltaCommunityCU.com/Events.

Convenient Banking with Live Teller

Have you taken advantage of Live Teller? Live Teller provides interactive banking via video technology, further enhancing the Delta Community service experience. You can speak live, on camera, with a Delta Community employee during and after normal banking hours, skipping our traditional teller line and conducting more types of transactions than a standard ATM. With Live Teller, members can make loan payments, cash checks, transfer funds and more. This service is available at select Delta Community branch locations and will roll out to others in the future. To learn more, visit DeltaCommunityCU.com/LiveTeller.

Out of town or not near a Delta Community branch? We’re part of the Co-Op Shared Branch network, which allows our members to visit other participating credit unions to conduct certain transactions like withdrawals, deposits, loan payments and more. Visit our locations page to find the Shared Branch closest to you.
