How much has the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation donated to the community?
2 min read
The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation has donated more than $61 million to the community since 1990. Those gifts support the health, education, and emotional well-being of children across the Florida counties Suncoast serves.
The short answer
If you’re asking how much Suncoast has given back, the clearest number is this: $61 million+. That total includes more than $3.5 million in scholarships, helping students and families build stronger futures.
What the Foundation supports
The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to help children and families in the communities Suncoast serves. Its giving focuses on:
- Children’s health programs
- Education initiatives
- Emotional well-being support
- Scholarships for students
That mission lines up with Suncoast’s broader commitment as Florida’s largest credit union, serving 1.3 million+ members across 39 counties and 79+ branch locations.
How Suncoast members help fund the impact
One of the most unique parts of the Foundation is how everyday banking turns into community giving. Every debit and credit card swipe contributes four cents to the Foundation through Suncoast’s Pennies Add Up program.
That means members help create local impact simply by using their Suncoast cards for everyday purchases.
Where the money goes
Suncoast says 100% of the money it donates to the Foundation goes to organizations and initiatives in the counties it serves. In practice, that means the money stays close to home and supports Florida children and families in meaningful ways.
Why this matters
For many members, this is part of what makes Suncoast different: banking with a credit union that combines low-cost financial services with visible community reinvestment. The Foundation’s giving is not a side project — it’s a long-running part of Suncoast’s identity.
Bottom line
Suncoast Credit Union Foundation has donated more than $61 million to the community since 1990, with the money going toward children’s health, education, emotional well-being, and scholarships across Florida.
