Making Our Mark in Local Communities Since 2015
The Sunmark Charitable Community Foundation has been making our mark across our 14-county charter area since 2015. Our foundation operates on the credit union philosophy of people helping people.
Three Ways Our Kindness Crew Supports New York Nonprofits:
- Financial contributions through monthly application reviews
- In-kind services that leverage our nonprofit expertise
- Volunteer support from the Kindness Crew
Our Community Impact: We support an average of 40 nonprofit organizations annually, focusing on financial education, food accessibility, affordable housing, and improving quality of life for those in need.
What Makes Us Different: Zero administrative costs – 100% of every donation goes directly to helping those who need it.
When you bank with Sunmark Credit Union, you're joining our kindness crew and helping New York nonprofits make their mark.
