Supporting Our Communities
Being a committed community partner is an unwavering pledge. It's why we seek to be thoughtful community partners in everything we do, including our philanthropic giving.
In 2021, we applied an equity lens to our grantmaking process for the UW Credit Union Fund for Racial Equity. We've learned a lot about doing things differently—and we're carrying the Fund for Racial Equity forward by integrating those lessons into our grantmaking process. By doing so, we're reaffirming our commitment to programs that help communities of color achieve financial stability and economic mobility.
We're dedicated to driving lasting improvements in areas tied to our social mission: promoting economic mobility through post-secondary educational opportunity, improving access to family-supporting employment and making it easier for everyone to find stable housing.
We have one grant funding cycle annually. Our 2025 grant application is now open until 5PM on February 21.
Nonprofit organizations are also welcome to apply for community sponsorship through our online application. Community sponsorship requests should be for one-off events or short-term projects.
