With every swipe of a Local Heroes co-branded Gesa VisaĀ® Debit Card, Gesa members earn funds designated for grants in that cardās Local Heroes category (Firefighters, Healthcare Workers, Law Enforcement, Teachers, and Veterans).
The Local Heroes Grants Program awards these funds to eligible organizations that support Local Heroes in regions where Gesa is active.
The funding amounts each year are dependent on the number of funds raised the prior year through the Local Heroes co-branded Gesa VisaĀ® Debit Cards. Grants are awarded in September.
How do I know who is eligible?
To qualify for a Local Heroes grant, an organization must provide proof that the requested project funds will support a Local Heroes population (Firefighters, Healthcare Workers, Law Enforcement, Teachers, and Veterans) in a Gesa community. A Gesa community is defined as a county where Gesa has a physical location.

Gesa Credit Unionās Local Heroes Affinity Debit Cards recognize Firefighters, Healthcare Workers, Law Enforcement, Teachers, and Veterans.
The Local Heroes affinity debit cards fund programs, projects, and initiatives that support Local Heroes populations identified by Gesa: Firefighters, Healthcare workers, Law Enforcement, Teachers, and Veterans. This might include equipment, training, or program support for fire departments, healthcare facilities, police departments, schools, and organizations that work with firefighters, healthcare, law enforcement, teachers, and veterans.
Every time a Gesa member swipes their Local Heroes affinity debit card, Gesa makes a donation to the fund for that cardās Local Heroes category. Funds accumulate over the course of a year and are disbursed annually. Total amounts given are dependent on debit card usage, so some Local Heroes categories may have more available funds than others.
The Grants Giving Committee is made up of Gesa employees and community members who work together to evaluate every grant request annually. We use the following criteria as guidelines for our decision-making: connection to a Local Heroes population, financial need, and anticipated impact
