The Golden 1 Credit Union donated a total of $368,400 to 21 Sacramento, Calif., area nonprofits as part of its first community grant effort, the $8.2 billion cooperative said.

The Golden 1 Credit Union Community Grant Program, implemented this fall with funding disbursements sent this month, supports literacy programs that help students develop reading skills and programs that provide assistance to young adults emancipated from the state's foster care system, the organization said.

"We have always been committed to helping people achieve their dreams," said Donna Bland, president/CEO. "We advocate for our members by providing the services they need to get ahead, and our grants support the underserved by providing the financial assistance nonprofits need to create a positive impact in our communities."
