AlaTrust Credit Union

AlaTrust4U Foundation

At AlaTrust, we believe in building stronger communities through education, empowerment, and opportunity. One of the ways we live out this commitment is through the AlaTrust4U Foundation, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting financial literacy and supporting students and educators across Alabama.

Through the Foundation, we:

Visit hundreds of schools to deliver hands-on financial literacy simulations, helping students gain essential life skills.

Award scholarships to students in need, opening the door to college and career success.

Actively support and give back to educators, providing resources and recognition for the incredible work they do every day.

Offer free financial resources to our community that keeps their best interest at heart.

Host fun interactive community events to destigmatize asking questions about finances and encourage individuals to find resources like our foundation who can give them honest not self-motivated answers.

Growing Financial Literacy

The AlaTrust4U Foundation is focused on providing a better future for Alabama through empowering its communities with financial education. From elementary students to college students, to independent adults, we are here to help you have the knowledge you need to make smart money decisions and to set yourself up for a future filled with success.
