Our Global community
We’re committed to supporting the people and organizations that work to improve the communities we're a part of.
People helping people
From supporting fundraising initiatives to event sponsorships, a big part of our mission is to give back to the communities that have welcomed us.
In 2022 we contributed nearly $650,000 to nonprofit organizations, and employees volunteered hundreds of hours in support of a variety of community initiatives.
Building stronger financial foundations
Building healthy communities includes teaching our kids how to have a positive relationship with money. To help, we’ve developed free, age-appropriate courses that are available for your children’s classrooms.
We’ve also partnered with the Financial Reality Foundation to offer high school seniors an opportunity to experience real-life budgeting in a fun, hands-on way through a Financial Reality Fair.

Honoring those who serve
The challenges faced by members of the military and their families while defending our nation are immense. Global has roots that are deeply intertwined with the Armed Services —reflected in the credit union’s contributions to non-profits focused on veterans, active-duty servicemen and women and their families.
