CoastHills Community Foundation

With a little help from (y)our friends

The CoastHills Community Foundation was formed in 2005 as a 501(c)(3) guided by a board of internal and external volunteers to provide funding and support for the local communities where CoastHills Credit Union members and employees live and work. Since 2011, members new to CoastHills have contributed a one-time $5 membership fee to support the reach of our Community Action Sponsorship program, making the program a true neighbors-helping-neighbors initiative.

How can we help?

Through the one-time $5 membership fee, we are able to direct $30,000 each year to more than 200 local nonprofit organizations via our Community Action Sponsorship program. This program is guided by a committee of employee volunteers who meet once a month to review sponsorship applications submitted by organizations throughout our entire field of membership (Santa Cruz County through Ventura County). This committee is able to provide up to $500 in funding support.
