In alignment with its commitment to being the most admired organization in every community it serves, AmeriCU Credit Union is honored to announce the formation of the AmeriCU Charitable Foundation, established on January 1, 2025.

This new initiative supports community-driven programs and aims to improve the quality of life for individuals and families across its service areas while strengthening the credit union’s impact and creating lasting positive change.

The Foundation will focus on four key areas of impact: supporting Active-Duty Military and Veterans, advancing Economic Development, promoting Educational Literacy, and enhancing Social Programs and Services.

“Our communities are at the heart of everything we do, and the formation of this Foundation allows us to make an even greater impact,” said Karen LaPlante, AmeriCU Charitable Foundation Board President. “This initiative is more than just a way to give back—it’s about showing our commitment to providing resources and creating opportunities that uplift and empower those who need it most.”

In 2024 alone, AmeriCU teammates contributed over 1,900 volunteer hours and the credit union donated more than $900,000 to local organizations and initiatives.

With the creation of the foundation, AmeriCU aims to build on this legacy by deepening partnerships and expanding the scope of its support to address the needs across the communities it serves.
