East Lake Foundation Receives Delta Community Grant to Support Villages of East Lake

The East Lake Foundation has received a $10,000 grant from Delta Community Credit Union to assist with the Resident and Community Support Program (RCSP) in the Villages of East Lake. Credit union representatives visited the East Lake Foundation on Wednesday and presented the organization with their award, which will be used to provide financial education services and career training.

“The grant from Delta Community will help residents of the Villages of East Lake achieve financial health by supporting the East Lake Foundation’s financial literacy workshops, education and coaching,” said Ilham Askia, President & CEO, East Lake Foundation.

The program offers courses in several money-related topics including budgeting, establishing credit, retirement planning and homebuying.

The contribution was made possible through Delta Community’s Philanthropic Fund Program, an annual grant-making initiative to support local, non-profit organizations that focus on health and human services; financial education; or science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) education.

“Delta Community was founded on the principle of cooperation or ‘people helping people’ to both promote responsible money management and provide access to fairly priced, high-quality banking services,” said Hank Halter, Delta Community’s CEO. “We are pleased to invest in organizations like the East Lake Foundation that foster opportunity and prosperity through practical public programming.”

Throughout 2025, Delta Community’s Philanthropic Fund Program will invest $150,000 in 20 local organizations. More information is available online at Delta Community’s “Community Programs” page.
