GLENDALE, Calif., Sept. 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- California Credit Union has
received the 2024 Social Impact Award from the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues.
The nationally recognized, peer-nominated award recognizes credit
unions that have demonstrated an unyielding dedication to building
stronger communities and improving members' lives.
"We are truly honored to receive this prestigious award that
recognizes our organization-wide commitment to investing in our
local communities," said California Credit Union President/CEO
Steve O'Connell. "As a member-owned,
not-for-profit financial cooperative, we are dedicated to our
People Helping People mission to positively impact the lives
of all those living and working in the markets we serve. We thank
the Leagues for this tremendous recognition. We will continue to
work alongside our members and fellow credit unions to make a true
impact in our communities."
California Credit Union was selected for the award based on its
wide array of impact programs working to ensure a stronger
financial future for its communities through youth programs,
education grants, military personnel support programs, financial
literacy, equal access to affordable financial services and
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives. Earlier in 2024, the
credit union launched California Credit Union Foundation to lead
its community outreach and support programs, which have totaled

five years. A non-profit charitable corporation, the Foundation
focuses on partnering with local grassroots organizations and
educational institutions through grants, sponsorships, in-kind
support and volunteer participation.
