THINK PINK

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are always searching for ways we can give back to our community beyond the walls of our branches. 

• Mission - At City & County Credit Union, our mission is transforming financial dreams into bold realities.
• Vision - Empowering our members to achieve financial freedom at every stage of life.

At City & County, giving back is at the heart of what we do. To ensure that our dollars are making the most impact in our community, our donation & sponsorship efforts are focused on three areas of giving: youth empowerment, financial education, and community wellness.

Youth Empowerment

We believe that giving back & empowering youth helps to fuel the future of our community. Whether we’re sponsoring the local high school basketball team or funding the robotics club, our donation dollars help kids get actively involved in their local community, regardless of their financial status.

Financial Education

We embrace education & empower our community to make their financial dreams a reality. We know that managing your money is more than just using a debit card. It’s learning how to use money as a tool & make money smart decisions today and for every life milestone ahead. To help improve financial literacy in our community, we proudly support financial education efforts in our community.

Community Wellness

We are committed to building a brighter future for the local communities we serve. Whether your mission is to strengthen physical or mental wellness or reduce food insecurity, City & County is proud to give back to organizations & causes who share in our vision of making our community a better place to live, work & play.

City & County’s community giving program strictly exists to empower & improve our community. We believe that we can create a stronger, more resilient community by actively giving back to our community and supporting organizations & causes that share in our mission, vision, and values.
