People Helping People
Founded in 2003, the United Heritage Charity Foundation was developed as a 501(c)(3) to support projects and organizations within local communities. Benefiting local charities, including organizations focused on family support services, healthcare, education initiatives as well as military and veteran assistance efforts, the Charity Foundation's top priority is contributing to deserving organizations that positively impact Central and East Texas to make a difference in people’s lives. United Heritage Charity Foundation epitomizes the credit union philosophy of "People Helping People," which is why each year we work with organizations who are striving to make our communities a better place to live, work and attend school.

To optimize our efforts, the Charity Foundation supports organizations whose focus includes one or more of a few specific areas outlined here:
Family Support Services
Encouraging the relationships between a parent/guardian and a child, whenever possible, is an important way to help families and individuals feel self-sufficient. Family Support Services help to address the general population and target specific groups to best serve local citizens.
Healthcare
Healthcare has been and will continue to be an important aspect of our culture. The Charity Foundation understands the impact that healthcare and medical research have on our communities.
Education
With a belief that our children remain our single greatest resource, the United Heritage Charity Foundation is a strong supporter of education initiatives for young people. By giving today’s youth every opportunity for success, our communities will grow and prosper.
Animals & Pets
Animals are an important part of many households in our communities. The Charity Foundation supports local organizations that rescue and shelter animals as well as those that advocate for improved animal welfare and wildlife conservation.
Military & Veteran Assistance
The United Heritage Charity Foundation feels it is important to support our military and veterans in as many ways as possible to show our appreciation of their many sacrifices. This is also a nod to United Heritage Credit Union's history, as it originally started as a military credit union.
Environmental Causes
By prioritizing environmental initiatives within our community, the Charity Foundation strives to be a steward of the planet by promoting sustainable practices, advocating for environmental awareness to safeguard future generations, and fostering a healthier quality of life.
