Community Impact Card Program Raises New Donation Record in 2024
Azura is excited to announce their annual Community Impact Card donation totals. In 2024 alone, Azura members helped raise a record-breaking $172,553.90 in donations - a $50,000 increase over the prior year. To date, Azura has donated over $812,769 to the participating organizations.
Each time Azura members make a purchase using a Community Impact Visa Debit Card, the credit union donates five cents to the participating charity of choice. Established in 2010, the program began with just one unique card, a benefit for TARC. Since then, it has grown to nine card designs and beneficiaries, including: Boys and Girls Clubs of Topeka, Harvesters | Community Food Network, Helping Hands Humane Society, Military Veterans Project, Shawnee Heights USD 450, Stormont Vail & Children’s Miracle Network, Supporting Kids Foundation and Topeka Rescue Mission (TRM).

Today, there are over 10,824 members actively raising funds for their charities of choice simply by swiping their Community Impact Cards. We look forward to continuing to grow this program and our partnerships.”
