UVA Community Credit Union Foundation
Financial wellness is more than just dollars and cents. We believe in the power of community and in helping those who need it most.
We’re proud to serve our community and support those in it.

Building a Stronger Tomorrow—Together.
At UVA Community Credit Union, we believe in more than financial services. We believe in lasting impact. That’s why we created the UVA Community Credit Union Foundation: a powerful new way to give back, lift up, and bring hope to the communities we serve.
What We Stand For
We partner with civic leaders and local organizations to invest in meaningful, measurable change. Our work is centered on three key pillars:
We proudly work with organizations that promote children’s healthy development and ensure every child has a healthy, hopeful future.
Hunger is a local issue. When people struggle putting food on the table, communities suffer. We partner with organizations that work to resolve the challenges faced by individuals and families, ensuring that no one goes hungry.
Shelter is a basic need and a human right. Without adequate, safe, and affordable housing, people struggle to overcome additional development issues. We proudly support organizations that create housing opportunities (rent/build/renovate) and advocate for affordable housing policies and programs.
Our Mission, Expanded
Our Foundation amplifies the Credit Union’s Mission of:
Working together to strengthen the financial wellness of our members and local communities.
But we know true wellness goes beyond bank accounts. It’s about health, stability, and opportunity. It’s about achieving your goals and giving everyone a chance to thrive.
Our UVA Community Credit Union Foundation is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors, which includes UVA Community Credit Union President/CEO, Susan Gruber as President, UVA Community Credit Union Chief Lending Officer, Joe Raichel as Vice President, UVA Community Credit Union Chief Financial Officer, Peter Holman as Treasurer, and UVA Community Credit Union Vice President of Credit Union Affairs, Janine Williams as Secretary.
Working together, we create impact.
