NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – (January 2021) – Langley Federal Credit Union and Langley for Families Foundation donated a record-breaking $1,402,468 during 2020. Langley demonstrated its commitment to the Hampton Roads community by donating more than ever and increasing its charitable giving by 30%.

Grants specifically designated for COVID-19 response totaled $364,200. Yearly donations exceeded $1,000,000 for the second consecutive year and helped 127 different organizations that provide healthcare, housing and human services, safety and security, and financial education services.

Langley also made a profound economic impact on the region beyond charitable giving throughout 2020. With more than $2.9 billion in member deposits and $2.6 billion in member loans, Langley empowers members to save, borrow, and spend wisely. Langley provides a full range of services to help members meet their individual financial goals.

Langley was recognized twice in 2020 for its community impact. Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads awarded Langley the 2020 Dream Builder Award for dedication to its mission throughout 2020. And, Coastal Virginia Magazine selected Langley as a 2020 Community Impact Award recipient, given to 10 Hampton Roads businesses that go above and beyond to make a difference for others.

In 2020, Langley for Families Foundation donated $846,718, a 28% increase, and Langley Federal Credit Union donated $555,750. Funds were generated from generous employees, members and successful fundraising events, including the annual golf tournament and new cash raffle.

“We are so proud that Langley can have such a positive impact in our community,” said Tom Ryan, president and CEO of Langley. “In a year where a global pandemic, economic shutdowns and social unrest impacted millions, our support to critical needs in Hampton Roads is even more vital.”
