At Skyla, we believe in empowering all of the ways our customers want to help their community. Because at the end of the day, we’re a part of that community, too. Take a peek at what we’re doing to build a better community, together:
Each year, 20 $5,000 Herman Hoose Scholarships are awarded to graduating high school students enrolled in an institution of higher education for the fall of that same year.
We’ll fur-ever support multiple organizations and events benefitting animal care. We donate to and sponsor events with The Charlotte Humane Society and the Town of Matthews’ Pawsitively Matthews.
We continue to support organizations in the Carolinas that are dedicated to providing youth sports. We love sponsoring local basketball, baseball, running, and soccer programs.
We understand the importance of supporting the Humanities and Arts in the community. We’re proud sponsors of organizations like the Charlotte Youth Ballet and Plaza Midwood’s Juneteenth festival.
We’ve worked with worthy organizations such as Operation Sweet Tooth and A Child’s Place. We’re also a proud community partner of Habitat for Humanity to provide resources to those in need of assistance.
Each December, we partner with 96.9 The Kat to help raise money for children battling life-threatening illnesses at St. Jude. We also contribute to the Ronald McDonald Charlotte House and Operation Sweet Tooth.
Goodwill’s mission is more than getting people a job... it’s about helping to secure family-sustaining employment so that individuals can build a foundation for the future. Skyla houses a full-service branch and an ATM at the Goodwill Opportunity Campus, which enables us to provide financial services that are accessible to all as well as specialty products for the unbanked and those needing a fresh start.
At Skyla, our focus is on the individual, building a relationship and a strong foundation that prepares you for long-term financial success. Our core values and philosophy of service align seamlessly with Goodwill and we are thrilled to be an integral aspect of the financial empowerment model that positively influences the economic mobility of those within our community.
Common Wealth Charlotte (CWC) is an innovative non-profit that helps low-income individuals and families become banked and build financial capacity. Skyla is proud to work with CWC as their financial institution and shares in CWC’s commitment to providing financial empowerment through financial education coupled with access to specially-designed financial products.
We’ve partnered with Habitat for Humanity Charlotte to provide affordable mortgage funding for new, qualifying Habitat homeowners. Together, we’ll be enabling more members of the greater Charlotte region to realize a safe, affordable place to call home, setting them on a path of new opportunity, increased confidence, and self-reliance.
