AHCU Spirit Foundation

Our Mission

The Spirit Foundation supports local organizations which provide safety, health, nourishment, education, or inspiration to young adults in local communities. The Spirit Foundation envisions that if young adults have those basic needs met they will be free to discover and achieve their dreams, no matter what those dreams may be.

In addition, the Spirit Foundation offers support to youth focused organizations, including local high schools, youth groups, mission organizations, addiction programs, food shelves, and others. That support may include financial support, financial education classes, awareness campaigns, or volunteer work on behalf of selected organizations. 

Executing Our Mission

Scholarships

The Credit Union offers eight financial scholarships ranging from $500.00 to $1,000.00, depending if their high school participates in SPIRIT programs.

SPIRIT Checking

The Credit Union's Spirit Debit Card can accompany any checking account.  When the card is used, the Credit Union donates 5% of debit card transaction fees to the Spirit Foundation.  This donation is then given to participating high schools to reduce student activity costs, so that all students can participate in healthy school activities.

The current participating schools include:

• Anoka

• Centennial

• Andover

• Blaine

• Coon Rapids

• Forest Lake

• Champlin Park

An ISD 11( Anoka Hennepin School District) card is also available.

Fundraising

The Spirit Foundation is a fundraiser for community schools. It celebrates high school students by raising funds for extra-curricular activities at local high schools. It’s also a family-friendly program powered by students, teachers, volunteers, donors, families, and friends.
