Locals. Backing locals.

For over 15 years, Orange Credit Union has offered a Community Support Grants Program for community groups and individuals who are seeking financial assistance for various causes, projects, events, resources and support. Orange Credit Union is proud to support projects, programs and events that align with the mission and vision of OCU, and are making a significant contribution to the community and the lives of others.

Applications are required to be made via the online application form below. Only applications submitted during the application opening times and before the deadline will be accepted for assessment.
