  • Children’s Policy Council of Shelby County, Inc.
  • Christ Health Center
  • Family Connection Inc.
  • Habitat for Humanity Greater Birmingham

“Our Foundation is about more than giving — it’s about partnering with those who are already doing the work and helping them go further,” says Andy Rush, President and CEO of Southern Energy Credit Union. “We’re proud to stand beside organizations that are making a measurable difference in the lives of others.”

Rush continued, “The nonprofits we’re supporting this year are making a profound impact on the lives of children, families, and individuals across our communities—from advancing health and housing access to providing critical resources for those facing life’s toughest challenges. Each organization was thoughtfully selected by our Foundation’s Board of Directors, and we’re honored to stand alongside them as they work to fulfill their missions.”
