Doing the Right Thing — support members and local communities through donations, sponsorships, scholarships, volunteerism and targeted grant programs to fill funding gaps and provide life‑saving resources.
Capital Credit Union’s grantmaking shows a clear pattern of backing local public-safety and community-serving institutions, with repeated support for fire departments, police departments, United Ways, and neighborhood nonprofits across Northeast Wisconsin. The largest recent award in the data, $45,718 to Foundations Health & Wholeness in Green Bay for general support, signals that the credit union also uses unrestricted funding to help a local organization keep operating. Another substantial grant went to Boys and Girls Clubs of the Fox Valley Inc in Appleton for $31,396, showing that youth-serving groups are also part of the mix. The portfolio includes both general support and sponsorships, and it reaches civic organizations, chambers of commerce, health-focused groups, and educational institutions. Recipients such as Green Bay Police Department, United Way Fox Cities Inc, Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, and Brown County Sheriff suggest that Capital Credit Union funds a practical blend of human services, community events, and life-safety infrastructure. The foundation’s own program descriptions reinforce that pattern, emphasizing donations, sponsorships, scholarships, and targeted grants to fill funding gaps and provide resources for local communities.
Public safety is a recurring theme in Capital Credit Union’s giving. In 2025, it gave $27,000 to Green Bay Police Department for general support, and in 2024 it gave $10,455 to Grand Chute Fire Department for general support. Similar awards went to Appleton Fire Department, Howard Fire Rescue, and Village of Bellevue Police. The credit union also supports community development and civic activity. It gave $25,000 to Fox Cities Performing Arts Center for sponsorship and general support, $22,500 to On Broadway Inc for sponsorship, and $16,599 to Greater Green Bay Chamber of Commerce Inc for sponsorship and general support. Education appears through both scholarships and school-related support, including a $12,500 sponsorship and general support grant to Kimberly High School. Health and social service organizations also receive general support, including United Way and local wellness groups.
Capital Credit Union’s typical grants cluster in the low five figures: the 25th percentile is $6,750, the median is $10,328, and the 75th percentile is $15,682. The recent record shows repeat support for some recipients across multiple years, including Foundations Health & Wholeness, United Way Fox Cities, and Green Bay Police Department. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is structured as a credit union rather than a private family foundation, and its giving includes general support, sponsorships, scholarships, and program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited applications through online donation and sponsorship portals, including the community outreach application and the Tom Young Educational Scholarship program.
