Augusta, GA – SRP Federal Credit Union and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta celebrated the start of summer with a check presentation surrounded by staff and youth served at a South Augusta Club. SRP presented Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta with a check for $25,000 to support Summer Camp at the Oasis Club. 

 

“We are incredibly thankful for SRP’s continued support of our organization and for their relentless commitment to helping youth in our community,” said Kim Evans, President & CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta.

 

Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta provides after school and summer programming to over 6,900 youth every year. Summer camp at the Oasis Club includes six weeks of programming based on a variety of themes and includes field trips, healthy meals and snacks, sports programming and outdoor activities, and academic support during the summer months.

 

“At SRP Federal Credit Union, we are committed to the credit union philosophy of 'People Helping People.' We strive to strengthen the communities we serve, and we are proud to help local students build a strong foundation for academic and financial success through programs like the Oasis Club Summer Camp," said Shana Reid, Chief Development Officer of SRP Federal Credit Union.

 

Summer Camp is critical to mitigating learning loss, providing youth with a safe environment in which they can grow, and providing parents and guardians the care their families need when school is not in session.

 

The Oasis Club serves a predominantly Hispanic population in Augusta, and its location and partnership with Christian Center OasisVIP Multicultural Church is pivotal to its success in the community. Pastor Angel Maestre works closely with Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta leadership to ensure the needs of the local community are being met and families have access to the wraparound services provided by the organization.

 

“God is good, and the Bible says that when two or more get together in agreement things like this could happened! I have seen that when BGCGA came to be partner with the vision that God had put in my heart, things started to move on the right direction, the direction to bless the kids in our community,” said Pastor Angel Maestre.

Augusta, GA – Augusta Technical College and SRP Federal Credit Union continue to expand their partnership, reinforcing their shared commitment to education, financial wellness, and community development. Their latest collaboration introduces the Augusta Technical College Foundation Affinity Debit Card, offering alumni, students, and supporters a new way to give back to the college with every purchase.

 

The newly launched debit card, featuring Augusta Tech’s logo and signature forest green, mint, and white color palette, is part of SRP’s Affinity Debit Card Program—an initiative that donates a portion of every transaction to local schools. Augusta Technical College is the first higher education institution to participate in the program, which has already provided over $2 million in funding to public, charter, and private high schools across eight CSRA counties.

 

Funds raised through the Augusta Technical College Affinity Debit Card will directly support the Augusta Technical College Foundation, which provides scholarships, faculty development, and resources to enhance student success.

 

“The SRP debit card program is a wonderful opportunity for the college's 30,000+ alumni and friends to support the college in their daily lives,” said Dr. Jermaine Whirl, President of Augusta Technical College. “SRP has been a terrific partner by supporting Accelerate Augusta, financial literacy, and other programs at the college. With the debit cards, they are making it easy for everyone to contribute to Augusta Tech’s continuing success.”

 

The new debit card is the latest in a series of collaborative efforts between Augusta Tech and SRP. In late 2024, the two institutions launched SRP Cougar$mart, a financial education program designed to equip students with essential money management skills. Additionally, SRP serves as the naming sponsor for Accelerate Augusta, a small business incubator and microenterprise center developed in partnership with the Downtown Development Authority of Augusta.

 

By expanding its collaboration with Augusta Technical College, SRP Federal Credit Union continues to embody the credit union philosophy of People Helping People, ensuring that students, educators, and entrepreneurs have access to the resources they need to thrive.

February 25, 2025

Augusta, GA – Georgia's students are gaining financial independence through an innovative collaboration. 200 children will receive financial literacy tools and their own bank accounts, with $5,000 in deposits distributed among participants.

 

SRP Federal Credit Union and the Global Children's Financial Literacy Foundation (GCFLF) have teamed up for a financial wellness book drive on April 17 and 18 in Waynesboro and Augusta.

 

“By giving kids a stake in their financial future, we're teaching concepts and creating opportunities for them to see what's possible," says Prince Dykes, founder of GCFLF. In similar programs, students reported feeling more confident about saving and investing, with kids saying they felt like they could really manage their money.

 

Students will be provided with complimentary editions of the Wesley Learns financial literacy series courtesy of SRP. The collaboration provides real-world financial experience that builds confidence and inspires lifelong economic success. Its goal is to break poverty cycles, foster wealth, and empower families with lasting opportunities.

 

“SRP Federal Credit Union is committed to fostering financial literacy across all age groups through various programs. We're especially glad to partner with GCFLF on this project," says Grace Helms, Assistant Vice President of Marketing, Communications & Community Development.

 

Georgia ranks 11th in the U.S. for millionaire households. This program ensures local children gain the knowledge and resources to build wealth and strengthen their community's economic future.

 

Reaching New Cities - Expanding the Impact

Starting in Georgia, the initiative will expand nationwide through an April book drive. It plans to donate 2,500 books and create first-time shareholders in five cities: Atlanta, Denver, New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. As the program grows, GCFLF seeks new partners to sponsor book drives and teach personal finance basics.
