Our Social Impact Strategy: Community oriented, future focused

Across our region of north central Florida, there is a growing need for support for underserved populations and paths to success for those in our service area. Our approach to corporate social responsibility is guided by our desire to build brighter futures for those in our community.

Through our programs and initiatives, we're working to create resilient, thriving and financially stable places to live, work, worship, and learn. 

Community Oriented

You are the reason for what we do.

Together with our growing member base and our Radiant team, we're proud to serve and give back in the local areas of North Central Florida.

Many of our members and branches are located in rural cities and towns, and we embrace our responsibility to support these communities. To do so we partner with local governments, educational institutions, and nonprofits to uplift and strengthen their neighborhood. We've created programs like our Charity of the Month specifically for local organizations, and we host regular volunteering opportunities for our team members to give back.

The future is bright. You could even say it's Radiant.

We know that bright futures start with strong foundations, so we're helping lay the groundwork.

 

No matter your starting point, having the right resources and partners can make your next step one you take with confidence. By working with organizations that focus on access, education, and growth, we're making sure those we impact can build successful futures. This can look like our partnerships for financial education in schools, our collaborations with resource centers, and our support of the Rays of Hope Foundation. 

Programs & Initiatives

 

Charity of the Month

We’ve always believed that the best way to recognize local nonprofits doing good work in our communities was by asking you!

Each month you nominate and vote to select a winner for Charity of the Month and we donate $1,000 toward their cause. We also partner with our winning organizations for a short interview to feature their work to encourage additional support and awareness for their efforts.

Through this program, we've been able to contribute more than $160,000 to the organizations that make our communities a better place for all of us. 

Learn more about Charity of the Month, view our past winners, and vote or nominate a local nonprofit.

School of the Month

The brightest futures come from schools with community support, so we're proud to be part of that foundation.

Our School of the Month program connects our branches to the schools in the counties we serve. Each month, one of Radiant's branches gets to select any eligible public or charter school within our region to receive $1,000 for their general purposes.

It's one of our favorite ways to give back. So if your school is nominated, we're excited to connect with you and help make your school shine even brighter.

Sponsorships

Since 1957, we've supported the local communities of North Central Florida through sponsorships for events and programs that uplift and inspire.  

Join us in our outreach and be part of the impact we're making. We welcome volunteering and sponsorship requests from organizations that serve the communities where our members and employees live and work.

Corporate Giving Guidelines

All of Radiant Credit Union's charitable contributions will align with our CSR strategy of Community Oriented, Future Focused.

  • Community Oriented – Serving our communities through programs and local partnerships that support financial education and security, resource management, and humanitarian outreach.
  • Future Focused – Investing in programs and organizations that focus on accessible financial, educational, and successful futures for all, no matter what stage of life they are in. 

Our Approach to Community Partnerships 

All sponsorships are considered first and foremost on their alignment with our overall strategy and mission. We give priority consideration to sponsorships brought to us by the members of our Radiant workforce, who live and work in the areas we serve. Leveraging their knowledge and expertise lets us connect with an organization and find opportunities to get involved and volunteer. Finally, we evaluate the impact on our community, to ensure every dollar is doing the maximum amount of good possible.
