SCU Community Foundation
The Scott Credit Union Community Foundation was established early in 2018 to strengthen Scott Credit Union’s commitment to our communities. The SCU Community Foundation was created to expand the reach and our ability, leveraging our existing community involvement, to give back to the communities we serve through a charitable foundation.
CU 4 Reality
In the 2017-2018 school year, we reached 2,234 students through our CU 4 Reality Program. CU 4 Reality provides a fun and interactive learning environment where students are assigned careers and practice making purchasing decisions within a set budget. CU 4 Reality teaches the importance of “paying yourself first” as well as the consequences of getting in over your head when it comes to financial matters.
VIP Program
Through our Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP), our employees have volunteered over 21,800 hours through a variety of local civic and financial education efforts over the past ten years. This unique program rewards employees for their volunteer hours in the community.
Education
Education is a top priority for Scott Credit Union. We are a proud partner of Lindenwood University-Belleville, McKendree University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Lewis & Clark Community College, and Southwestern Illinois College, as well as many area elementary, middle, and high schools.
Hospitals
We help promote health and wellness in the Metro-East by supporting our local hospitals. We are proud to co-sponsor Heart Health Awareness Month with Memorial Hospital, as well as partner with St. Joseph’s and St. Elizabeth’s hospitals.
Salvation Army
Scott Credit Union employees volunteered for 16 shifts, totaling over 36 hours of bell ringing during the 2018 holiday season. Bell ringing is the Salvation Army’s primary means of funding its community programs for the homeless, veterans, seniors, youth, disaster, and addiction.
People Helping People
This is the core credit union philosophy. It means we’re committed to our communities, offering financial services to underserved populations, engaging youth and adults through financial education, and returning profits to our members.
