Achieva Credit Union Community Involvement

While some financial institutions have come and gone, Achieva remains a reliable and steady anchor for both members and employees.

We support the people who support us! One of our core principles is to "do the right thing." As a credit union, that means volunteering and giving back to our local communities.

What is the Achieva Reindeer Trot? It's a 10K Race, a 5K Race, a Kid Run, and a Family Walk... all to benefit the Sarasota School Board and to help raise money for our local schools! We will have a DJ with music, food, games... and of course RACES and prizes. Don't miss it!

Some of the ways we give back to the communities we serve:

In 2009 we initiated a Youth Sports Sponsorship Program with multiple baseball and soccer leagues, and currently sponsor youth teams throughout Pinellas, Pasco and Sarasota counties
Spend over $20,000/year on Pinellas County School Employee Events
Hold our Yearly Achieva Scholarship Program
Our partnership with Northeast High School Academy of Finance -- home of the Achieva Viking Branch, run by students
Spend over $14,000/year on Pinellas Education Foundation events
Over the last 4 years, Achieva employees have raised over $79,000 to benefit All Children's Hospital and American Cancer Society's (ACS) Relay for Life
Sponsor sports programs within the school system, throughout our local counties
Volunteer for fundraising events for the SPCA Tampa Bay, and Big Brothers Big Sisters
Participate in events that support Habitat for Humanity, and the Let Them Be Kids Foundation
In 2009, we supported the Fourth Grade Foresters USA, providing over 8,000 students with trees
Participate in the Great American Teach-In every year
Support and participate in the annual Credit Union Cruise for Kids benefiting local children's charities
Every year, we create and raffle Holiday Baskets to collect donations for the Children's Miracle Network, and have raised $35,000 over the past 11 years
A sponsor of the Credit Union Kids Classic Golf Tournament for 5 years, helping to raise over $1.2 million benefiting the All Children's Hospital Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Collect donations throughout the year for Clothes to Kids, RCS, All Faiths Food Bank, and Metropolitan Ministries
In 2010, via fundraising efforts from our Box Car Rally and Scrapbook Crop, we provided 15 recipients from Pinellas County Schools, $1,000 each in classroom grants (totaling $15,000)
