The Southern Energy Credit Union Foundation, formerly the APCO Employees Credit Union Share the Care Foundation, was established in 2021 to amplify the efforts of nonprofits and community organizations working to improve lives. Through strategic partnerships and targeted giving, we empower changemakers who are building stronger, more resilient communities.
“Our Foundation is about more than giving — it’s about partnering with those who are already doing the work and helping them go further,” says Andy Rush, President and CEO of Southern Energy Credit Union. “We’re proud to stand beside organizations that are making a measurable difference in the lives of others.”
Rush emphasizes the importance of the Foundation’s mission: “Creating the Foundation allowed us to expand our capacity to give — enabling fundraising and donations at a scale that delivers deeper, more sustainable impact than we could achieve as a credit union alone.”
Southern Energy Credit Union Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Southern Energy Credit Union began its mission to give back 20 years ago with the Southern Energy Credit Union for Kids Charity Golf Tournament. Since that time, we’ve been fortunate to donate more than $400,000 to Children’s of Alabama. By establishing the Southern Energy Credit Union Foundation in 2021, we’ve been able to expand our giving to include additional community organizations. In 2025, our Foundation delivered $15,000 donations to six charitable organizations, totaling $90,000. Read more about that donation on our blog, and watch the check presentations by viewing the video below.
