Foothill Impact Foundation

Not all financial institutions are the same. Here's what separates us.

Making an Impact in the Communities We Serve


 

Rooted in the credit union philosophy of people helping people, the Foothill Impact Foundation was established in 2026 to create meaningful opportunities to give back. By supporting local programs and partnerships, the Foundation helps build stronger, more resilient communities for today and the future.

Our Purpose

The specific purpose of this corporation is to empower the communities we serve by providing financial wellness, education, and resources.  We strive to provide comprehensive financial education programs, personalized guidance, tools, and resources that community members need to improve their financial health.  This may include financial support for community-based charitable and governmental organizations and community members in need.

Who We Are

The Foothill Impact Foundation is a charitable 501(c)(3) organization that operates independently from Foothill Credit Union. While separate in governance, the Foundation works in close partnership with Foothill to build upon its deep history of community involvement and service.

This structure allows the Foundation to expand the reach of Foothill Credit Union’s charitable efforts and respond more effectively to local needs through grants, partnerships, and community-focused initiatives.

Community Impact

Nearly all proceeds raised by the Foothill Credit Union Community Foundation are reinvested directly into local communities. Every contribution helps support programs, initiatives, and partnerships that make a real difference for individuals and families.

By investing in the causes that matter most to our members, the Foundation is helping build stronger, more resilient communities—today and for future generations.

Scholarships and Grants

The Foothill Impact Foundation also provides scholarships and grants to support students who need financial assistance, as well as credit union members looking to further their education or career. These funds can help reduce financial barriers and create greater access to opportunity. 


The following are currently being offered:

  • Classroom Improvement Grant

  • Career Advancement Scholarship


Those who wish to give back can donate to the Foundation, with contributions directly supporting these programs and expanding access to education within our community. See below to donate.
