Inspiring the pursuit of a life well lived; cultivating legacy-defining moments for the people and places we serve.
A recurring pattern in True Community Credit Union’s giving is long-horizon support for local institutions and community projects in Jackson. One of the clearest examples is a $33,333 grant in 2025 to Jackson School of the Arts, listed as year 4 of 4 of a multi-year pledge for capital campaign/building support. That same year, the credit union also gave $20,000 to Jackson College Multicultural Affairs for a Juneteenth event sponsor and student scholarships, showing that its philanthropy mixes building support, education, and community celebrations. The credit union’s recent grants also show a strong preference for direct, place-based support in Jackson County. Found Church received $35,000 in 2025 for the Black Excellence Awards sponsor and Isaiah’s Hub renovation project, while Jackson YMCA received $26,000 in 2025 as a charitable contribution. These awards sit alongside sponsorships, scholarships, and community donations tied to local organizations and events. Across the record, True Community Credit Union funds community development, education, housing, financial wellness, and local nonprofit support, with most grants staying close to its Michigan footprint.
Education appears in both scholarship making and student support. True Community Credit Union gave $20,000 to Jackson College Multicultural Affairs for Juneteenth event sponsorship and student scholarships, and its active programs include TRUE Community Scholarships and the TRUE Community Partnership in Education Scholarship for Michigan students. Housing and community development also show up in its grant list. Greater Jackson Habitat for Humanity received $20,000 in 2024 for year 5 of 5 of a multi-year sponsor arrangement tied to a sponsored house build at Deland Pointe. The credit union also backs cultural and civic programming. It gave $20,000 to Nuestra Comunidad for a presenting sponsorship of the Nuestra Comunidad Hispanic Heritage Festival, and $14,550 to Jackson County Chamber for chamber sponsorships including the MLK Breakfast, Night of Distinction, National Civics Bee, and annual golf outing. Health-related support appears as well, including a $18,500 grant to Henry Ford Jackson that included support for hospice donation and event sponsorships.

True Community Credit Union’s recent grants cluster around a median of $12,500, with a 25th percentile of $9,125 and a 75th percentile of $20,000. That distribution fits a pattern of moderate-size community awards rather than very large one-off gifts. The record also shows repeat support: Jackson School of the Arts, Jackson YMCA, Rise Above, American Heart Association, Michigan Tribe, and The Enterprise Group each appear in more than one year. The giving is structured as local philanthropy, sponsorships, donations, and charitable contributions, with several awards explicitly tied to multi-year pledges or multi-year sponsorships. The active grant programs include scholarship pages that accept unsolicited applications, while community giving/sponsorship activity is also present through local nonprofit support and event sponsorships.
Giving is highly concentrated in Michigan, with 88% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. Jackson is the main city in the record, joined by a smaller set of Michigan recipients such as Spring Arbor and Lansing. A single out-of-state recipient appears in the recent grants list: Acworth, Georgia, for a 2024 assistance grant. The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 33 grants in the United States.
The credit union supports local community organizations, schools, cultural events, and service nonprofits. Recent grants include support for scholarships, a Juneteenth event, a Hispanic heritage festival, a house build with Habitat for Humanity, chamber sponsorships, and health-related support through Henry Ford Jackson and the American Heart Association.
The typical grant size is moderate: the 25th percentile is $9,125, the median is $12,500, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. That suggests a mix of smaller sponsorships and mid-sized local contributions.
