Community Investment
With thanks to our members, we award $300,000 in grants annually to deserving organizations.
Our Community Investment Program provides grants to local non-profit organizations twice per year. An employee committee reviews all applications and then makes recommendations to our Board of Directors who approves grant recipients. Grants ranging generally from $3,000 to $25,000 are awarded, up to a total of $150,000 in each round. See our recent recipients below!
Our Fall 2026 Community Investment Grant Application is now open!
We are currently accepting applications for the fall round through Monday, August 31. A total of $150,000 is available to not-for-profit organizations located in Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties.
We will no longer be accepting mailed applications. If you experience issues with the online portal please contact our team.
For questions, please reach out to communitygiving@coastccu.org.
