Making Our Communities Brighter
At Sunmark Credit Union, we believe strong communities are built by people and organizations who show up every day with compassion, commitment, and purpose. Since 2015, the Sunmark Charitable Community Foundation has been partnering with local nonprofits, small organizations, and grassroots initiatives who are creating meaningful change across the Capital and Hudson Valley Regions of New York State.
