Make a Purchase, Make a Difference with Community Impact

Written by Azura Credit Union | May 4, 2023 3:15:00 PM

Did you know credit unions are guided by the motto "People Helping People"? At Azura, we live by this motto daily in the services we offer and by making community giving a priority. In an effort to share the "People Helping People" motto with our membership, Community Impact was created. We are excited to share with you our 2022 results, all thanks to our amazing members using their Community Impact debit cards!

What is the Community Impact Program?

Our Community Impact (CI) Program began as a way to provide members with an effortless option to give back to their favorite charity. A five cent donation by Azura happens each time a member simply uses their Community Impact debit card to make a purchase. The program is FREE to sign up for, and each charity has a special debit card design!

 

Which Charities Participate?

Azura currently has eight charities that members can choose for their donations. These include:

 

"Our Community Impact Card provides an important voice for our accountholders, letting them select where we give back. Since our last community celebration event in 2020 we have more than doubled the amount given. You Shop, We Give, and The Community Wins.” said Katie Beach, Azura Community Development Manager.

 

Our 2022 Results 

Thanks to our amazing membership, 2022 was a fantastic year of giving! We are pleased to share that we were able to donate $103,350 amongst our 8 participating charitable organizations! We cannot wait to see what 2023 has in store for the Community Impact Program.
