Return to AlaTrust Credit Union
We believe financial literacy is one of the most valuable skills a person can develop. Understanding how to manage, save, spend, and plan money empowers individuals to make confident financial decisions today and build a stronger future for themselves and their families.
The AlaTrust4U Foundation is committed to providing Alabamians with the knowledge and resources they need to develop lifelong financial skills, achieve their goals, and create opportunities for a brighter financial future.
Coming 2027
Through the AlaTrust4U Foundation we have provided our financial literacy simulation, Bite of Reality, to hundreds of schools in Alabama since 2021. Our simulation provides life changing knowledge and lessons in a hands on way to help children learn, experience, and remember the importance of financial choices.
This program is provided free of charge to Alabama Schools and is recommended for grades 7-12th.
We hope you'll join us in supporting this important program! To set up a financial literacy class or host Bite of Reality select the button below

Request a financial literacy workshop
One thing we've learned since offering financial literacy resources is that sometimes the people with the most questions aren't sure who to ask or where to start!
In an effort to bring financial literacy to where people are and decrease the stigma of asking for help, we partner with local coffee shops to offer a "Financial Literacy Hour". If you ask our representatives any financial question, then you can get any one drink free at the coffee shop we are "popped-up" at!
Thank you to our coffee shop host partners who make this program possible!
