Our community impact in action

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:

• Greater Sacramento Urban League (GSUL) to support ongoing economic development services for the Del Paso Heights community.
• Mutual Assistance Network (MAN) to provide financial education and coaching support for youth and adults in Del Paso Heights.
• Neighborhood Wellness Foundation (NWF) to provide targeted physical and mental health support for Grant Union High School students.
• Roberts Family Development Center (RFDC) to provide academic support, mentoring, and wraparound care for youth, young adults, and families.

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. 

In the grant year ending June 2023, Golden 1 granted $596,000 to 31 organizations in California to support education and transition-age foster youth.

Since 2013, we've given nearly $7.5 million in grants to 310 organizations in support of programs that help children, teens, and young adults gain skills and resources to put them on the road to secure and productive lives.

Golden 1 is dedicated to supporting our members, now and in the future. Our scholarship program is an essential part of that promise. By investing in California’s future leaders, we’re helping to create stronger communities.

In 2024, we awarded $457,700 to 48 students attending colleges and universities in California. Since the scholarship program began in 2013, we've awarded $4.5 million to 504 students throughout the state.
