SCHOOL PROGRAM PARTNER - FUND POLICIES & PROCEDURES

 

As an ongoing commitment to be an active Schools Program Partner, Delta Community Credit Union will allocate funds per school, per calendar year, January 1 through December 31.  Budgeted funds do not carry over year to year.
 
These funds can be used toward any activities or efforts that:
  • Support STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) related activities and programs.  This is the preferred initiative and should be prioritized.
  • Facilitation of financial literacy workshops by Delta Community representative- classroom settings or larger group settings
  • Support and enrich the education of the students – including athletics, career days, STEAM activities, special events, etc.
  • Financial Education workshops are also available for parents, faculty and teachers
 
Delta Community Credit Union Community Development department will oversee the allocation and distribution of funds for each school.
 
Accurate measurements of outcomes are expected.  Please be prepared to keep a record of how many students were impacted by the event or donation, the results of the sponsorship, and provide some form of documentation and/or pictures to your Community Development Representative upon conclusion of the event/donation.
 
All activities, sponsorships and donations should, in some way, recognize Delta Community Credit Union.
 
Examples of how Delta Community can benefit from activities, sponsorships and donations:
  • Signage at school
  • Recognition in newsletters or other printed/e-communications
  • Opportunity to be on-site and meet with faculty/staff to promote Delta Community
  • Check presentations at staff meetings and/or PTA events
 
The Community Development Representative will be the primary point of contact for each Schools Program Partner.  
 
Only schools in the 16-county, metro Atlanta region and out-of-state branch communities in which Delta Community does business are eligible to apply.
