Mountain America Foundation—People Helping People | Guiding You Forward  

For years, Mountain America Credit Union has been a partner in the community focused on helping others. To further exemplify the philosophy of “people helping people”, the Mountain America Foundation was launched in 2020 and has helped thousands of people in new and innovative ways. Whether it’s giving new coats and shoes to underserved children, partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, providing scholarships or volunteering—the focus is on caring for our communities to make them better places to live.

Sharlene Wells, senior vice president of public relations and organizational communications at Mountain America, joins us on this episode of the Guiding You Forward podcast to talk about the impact of the foundation and the scholarships we offer.

Although Mountain America has been giving back to the community for decades, launching the foundation has helped us do so much more. With a new mission, the foundation is equipped to help youth and families from different backgrounds more than ever before. Watch the video above to learn about the Mountain America mission and how it shapes what we strive to accomplish.

Education is a game changer! And giving out scholarships is nothing new to Mountain America. In the past, we have awarded three scholarships per year. Now, in conjunction with the foundation, we have increased that number to 120 scholarships across six states. Watch the full video to learn how to apply and how we’ve simplified the process—it’s much more than just academics.
