Make Your Application Stand Out

We have three areas of impact: Community Prosperity, Community Gathering, Youth Sports and Arts

The more areas of impact that resonate with your project/initiative, the more your application will stand out from others. 

To fully understand our areas of impact, visit the Our Impact page.

Organizations that should not apply:

​We generally will not provide funding for the following:

• For profit organizations;
• Operating or administration costs including wages and speaker or consulting fees;
• Any group that represents a conflict of interest for SASCU or promotes specific programs or issues where members of the Credit Union may have significantly divergent views;
• Partisan, religious, or political events or purposes; 
• Requests involving funding for travel; which would include meals and / or accommodation;
• Initiatives which benefit only a specific individual or a very small group of individuals;
• Programs or events outside our market area unless there is a clear benefit to our members;
• More than one funding request per year for the same project or event;
• Third party service groups (unless enabling local organizations to fundraise for local initiatives);
• Public or private educational institution requests for materials or equipment typically or occasionally supplied through government funding.

The above mentioned criteria is a guideline. All community support applications are evaluated on an individual basis.
