Community Involvement

Together, we can make a difference!

Coastal Federal Credit Union was founded on the principle of "people helping people." We take pride in being involved in the communities we serve and are happy to participate each year in numerous charitable events.

We work to improve the lives of our members, their families and their communities by supporting charitable organizations and events that work to:

  • Educate Our Youth
  • Support Health & Human Services
  • Build Communities
  • Encourage Arts & Culture

Coastal at Work in Our Community

Scholar Athlete of the Month:

Each month during the school year, Coastal and 99.9 The Fan recognize a high school student who stands out in the classroom and on the field. Since the program's inception, we have honored more than 90 student-athletes, and provided more than $30,000 to local schools.

Coastal is the first financial institution in the world to have partnered in World Community Grid. The program harnesses unused processor capabilities from desktop computers and utilizes it as an infrastructure for groundbreaking research projects that will benefit humanitarian issues.

Youth Financial Education:

We realize the importance of developing good financial habits at an early age. That's why Coastal offers the High School Financial Planning Program free of charge to schools and youth groups. Learn more.
