Community Sponsorship Programs

DNCU is your ideal partner for a better future.

Guidelines for Sponsorship Requests

DNCU’s guidelines were developed to ensure that our charitable contributions reach the intended recipients and/or provide a meaningful promotion of DNCU as a philanthropic organization. Our philanthropic activities align with our company values, which is why we adhere to a specific donation philosophy.

In addition, in line with best practices for philanthropy, DNCU gives added weight to organizations which manifest a collaborative approach to solving issues in our communities when deciding whether to fund a request. DNCU donations/sponsorships must meet these guidelines:

Benefits our communities in the areas we serve
Benefits an organization or program directly
Must be a private or public charity foundation deemed by the IRS
Does not support any one particular religion or belief system
Must support at least one of our philanthropic missions:
To promote financial literacy or
To improve the lives of youth

For us to consider your sponsorship request, this form must be as complete as possible. If we have not sponsored your organization before, a W9 is required. You may attach your W9 directly on our request form. All checks will be made out to the organization listed on the W9.

We are currently not taking any new sponsorship or donation requests. Please check back with us in 2026.

Please accept our sincere appreciation for your act of generosity and the important part you have played in improving the lives of your neighbors in need.
