Community Involvement

At Leaders Credit Union, we believe in giving back to the community. West Tennessee has been our home for over 60 years, and we are dedicated to strengthening the community that supports us. As a local, not-for-profit institution, Leaders Credit Union understands the importance of community support. We believe together, we can make a difference.

In addition to corporate and individual volunteerism, Leaders contributes nearly $100,000 per year back to the West Tennessee community for the purpose of reinvesting in non-profit organizations and charitable initiatives. These dollars and volunteer hours are directed by our Community Contribution Committee, consisting of members from our Senior Leadership Team. Our members also support various community non-profit organizations and charities through our donation-matching program, Lead with Caring.

If you would like to request a donation, sponsorship or volunteer participation from our staff, please fill out our Community Donation form.

Martha Britt Scholarship Award

Helping our Future Move Forward

Leaders Credit Union began in 1957 helping educators support one another as the Jackson Madison County Teachers Credit Union.

Martha Britt was a champion in our community, serving for over thirty years in the Jackson-Madison County School System. Beginning in 2002, Britt amplified her community service by serving as a board director for Leaders Credit Union. Britt served as chairwoman of the scholarship committee and was instrumental in promoting educational opportunities for local students. On October 23, 2006, after her death, the board of directors named the annual scholarship in her honor. Britt’s legacy lives on through students who receive the Martha Britt Scholarship for exemplary dedication to education and to the community.
