Our community impact in action

Giving back to improve the financial lives of Californians.

Del Paso Heights Partnership


Golden 1 has a $10 million, multi-year investment in Del Paso Heights, a chronically under-resourced community in Sacramento. We've also opened a new Financial Resource Center branch in the neighborhood to provide easily accessible services.

Since 2022, we've granted more than $3.3 million to four partner organizations in Del Paso Heights:

We've also hosted or participated in over 120 community events in the neighborhood, and our investment has served roughly 9,000 Del Paso Heights community members, not including those served by the free financial coaching, workshops, and banking services offered at our Financial Resource Center.
