All In Credit Union, based in Daleville, Ala., is once again giving back to the communities it serves by providing the opportunity for a number of local nonprofit organizations to be awarded with one of several grants up to $100,000 for future programs or facilities.

In addition to the $100,000 awarded through All In Credit Union’s grant program, the company’s Helping Hands Foundation also donated more than $100,000 to several philanthropic causes in Alabama and Florida in addition to the 1,400 volunteer hours donated by employees in 2018.

Charlie Mingus, chairman of the board of directors for All In Credit Union said, “In 2018, our Board of Directors wanted to do something bold and significant that would make a lasting difference in our communities. We received such positive feedback from last year’s $100,000 grant program that we wanted to make funds available to additional area organizations again in 2019.”
