EDUCATION & FINANCIAL GUIDANCE & THE COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND

Because of our partnership with The Community Impact Fund, Alpine Credit Union is able to offer credit union memberships to the entire state of Utah. Together, we unite in the effort to provide financial literacy programs to create a positive impact on the communities we serve.

Who is The Community Impact Fund (CIF)?

The Community Impact Fund (CIF) is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit established in 2018 to help organizations maximize their community impact by helping to meet the financial needs of their employees, members, and community.

They believe that Credit Unions are key to sustainable and scalable community impact. They partner with CUs to provide the technology, program support, and educational resources to enhance our communities’ financial well-being.
