COMMUNITY COMMITMENT

Serving a larger purpose for the benefit of our communities.

As a member-owned financial institution, CommunityAmerica is dedicated to promoting the strength and vitality of the communities we serve. To accomplish this task, we continually seek out opportunities to offer time and resources in ways that will make a difference for the communities where our members live and work.

Financial Literacy

CommunityAmerica is dedicated to Building Financial Success Together. To live this vision, the organization dedicates financial resources, as well as the time and talents of our staff, to the promotion of financial literacy for students grades kindergarten through 12.

In the fall of 2006, CommunityAmerica announced its sponsorship of Exchange City at the Learning Exchange. Exchange City is an experiential learning environment serving a wide variety of elementary and middle schools in the Kansas City area. Through the Exchange City partnership, CommunityAmerica is helping to teach children the importance of spending carefully and saving wisely.

Volunteerism

CommunityAmerica promotes the spirit of volunteerism by offering each full-time employee 12 hours of paid time annually to give to the 501(c)3 designated organization of their choice. Some area charities that have benefited from this policy include Della Lamb, Habitat for Humanity, Harvesters, Muscular Dystrophy Association and Junior Achievement.

Credit Unions Working Together

CommunityAmerica is a leader in the local credit union community in support of Children's Miracle Network through the Greater Kansas City Credit Unions for Kids Task Force. Together, area credit unions have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help area children suffering with illness and disease.

Dora Maxwell Award for Social Responsibility

In 2007, CommunityAmerica was named a state winner of the Dora Maxwell Award for Social Responsibility by the Missouri Credit Union Association for the eighth consecutive year. The Credit Union was also awarded the National Dora Maxwell Award by the Credit Union National Association. Dora Maxwell Award honors credit unions for charitable works in their communities. The awards were won for the Credit Union’s fundraising efforts for Junior Achievement of Middle America.
