Mobile, Ala. – In a clear demonstration of corporate stewardship, All In Credit Union has pledged over $500,000 in grant funding to 45 nonprofit organizations throughout the Gulf Coast region. The awards were approved by the Helping Hands Foundation board, which selected this year’s recipients after a thorough review of each group’s impact on the community.
Grant recipients span a wide range of services
The list of beneficiaries includes the Dumas Wesley Community Center, which provides after‑school programs and senior services; Mulherin Custodial Home, a shelter for individuals transitioning out of incarceration; Ransom Solutions, a workforce‑development agency; and Rebuilding Together of South Alabama, which focuses on home repairs for low‑income families. Each organization will receive a portion of the total funding to expand existing programs, launch new initiatives, and meet growing demand for assistance.
All In Credit Union’s commitment to giving back
“It means the most to us. We believe in giving back. We, our employees, provide volunteer hours to organizations in our community, and so this is a part of who we are. It’s what we do on a daily basis,” said Chasity Duke, a representative of the Helping Hands Foundation. Duke emphasized that the grant program reflects the credit union’s long‑standing philosophy of serving the people who bank with them, rather than simply seeking profit.
Community response
Leaders of the recipient groups expressed enthusiasm about the new resources. The Dumas Wesley Community Center’s director noted that the grant will allow the center to extend its tutoring program to an additional 150 children this school year. Rebuilding Together of South Alabama plans to use its share to repair the roofs of ten homes that were damaged by recent storms, helping families return to safe living conditions more quickly.
Local officials praised the initiative as a model of private‑sector partnership with charitable organizations. Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson remarked that such contributions are vital for sustaining the city’s social safety net, especially as public budgets face increasing pressure.
Looking ahead
The Helping Hands Foundation intends to continue the grant cycle annually, seeking input from community leaders to ensure that future allocations address the most pressing needs. All In Credit Union has signaled that it will maintain, if not increase, its philanthropic budget in the coming years, reinforcing its role as a cornerstone of the Gulf Coast’s economic and social fabric.
