American Heritage Credit Union has been selected as one of the honorees for CORA Services’ Love in Action Awards for 2025. The annual award is presented to individuals or organizations that have dedicated “time, talent, voice, and resources to empowering families.”
CORA Services — a nonprofit organization headquartered in Northeast Philadelphia — helps children, youth, and families that are experiencing academic, emotional, or social challenges, according to a press release. CORA provides an variety of professional services focused on prevention, intervention, remediation, and referral assistance.
CORA has been a part of American Heritage’s Workplace Partner Program for six years. The organization has been a benefactor of the credit union’s annual Books for Kids program, where books are donated to local preschools and education centers to support literacy. American Heritage has also served as a sponsor for some of CORA’s events, according to the credit union.
“For many years, American Heritage has stood beside CORA and our community as a leader in service — investing in families, education, and financial literacy,” AnnMarie McDowell, president and CEO of CORA Services, said in a statement. “Their generosity and shared values embody the true spirit of love in action. This award is a reflection of their extraordinary impact and of our gratitude for a partnership that continues to make a difference year after year.”
American Heritage’s nonprofit organization, the Kids-N-Hope Foundation, has also aided CORA through direct financial support. The missions of both organizations align, as the Foundation aims to support pediatric health and life services within the local community, such as music therapy, the credit union said.
“The combination of financial services and community impact is how we aim to live out our mission at American Heritage. We are able to do exactly that through our longstanding partnership with CORA, and are continually inspired by the difference they make in the lives of so many families,” Bruce K. Foulke, president and CEO of American Heritage Credit Union and founder of the Kids-N-Hope Foundation, said in a statement.
Founded in 1948, and headquartered in Northeast Philadelphia, American Heritage Credit Union serves more than 318,000 members and more than 800 Workplace Partners. The credit union operates more than 35 locations across Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Delaware counties in Pennsylvania, and Burlington, and Camden counties in New Jersey.
In Montgomery County, American Heritage has six locations in Limerick, Upper Merion, Lansdale, East Norriton, Horsham and Abington; one location in North Coventry Township, Chester County; and one Delaware County location in Wayne.
