NEWPORT NEWS, Va.–Langley Federal Credit Union reported it has formed the Langley for Families Foundation to establish focused charitable giving on family issues in the Greater Hampton Roads, Va. area.
The Foundation will operate outside of the credit union’s existing charitable giving structure and will complement the organization’s continued charitable giving efforts. The Foundation will concentrate on supporting organizations that serve the needs of families. The credit union said specific areas of focus will include healthcare, housing and human services, safety and security, and more. The Foundation will be self-funded and run solely by a volunteer board as a 501c(3) thereby maximizing dollars distributed in the community.
Langley Federal said money will be raised through various fundraising activities during the year. Eligibility for funds will be determined in part by a non-profit’s impact on families in the local community, and whether the non-profit fits the mission and areas of focus of the Foundation.
The first major fundraising event will take place this week at Langley Federal Credit Union’s City Center corporate headquarters, where the Foundation will host a “Visit with Santa” at Hollydazzle. A $5 donation will be requested with all proceeds to benefit the Foundation.
