The Alliant Credit Union Foundation, established in 2008 as a not-for-profit charitable foundation, aims to support underserved communities—including rural, digitally-challenged, and under-resourced populations—through providing reliable broadband, digital literacy resources, and technology equipment, by partnering with strategic, charitable partners.
The Alliant Credit Union Foundation Grant emphasizes promoting economic empowerment and self-sufficiency, particularly in communities where Alliant Credit Union members and employees reside. With a belief in the transformative power of financial self-sufficiency to expand opportunities, the foundation focuses on supporting organizations that enhance economic empowerment. Special interest is given to initiatives that promote financial literacy. The foundation aims to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities by partnering with organizations to provide technology devices, affordable broadband, and digital skills education, as well as advocating for internet accessibility reform among community leaders.
