CREDO’s Mission
We provide great products that fund progressive causes and power social activism. Through the simple act of doing business with CREDO, our members live their values and fight for their ideals.
We started, in 1985, with the Working Assets Credit Card, expanded to long distance service and now operate CREDO Mobile and CREDO Energy. We commit a portion of our revenue and 10 cents of every credit card transaction to donations for progressive groups. We distribute these donations monthly, according to a vote by our members.
CREDO Action
CREDO Action organizes for progressive change. We mobilize millions of activists to speak out and pressure decision-makers from the local to the national levels. Our customers and members have generated hundreds of millions of petition signatures and tens of millions of phone calls to key decision-makers across the country. Hundreds of thousands of CREDO members have poured into the streets to participate in hundreds of protests and rallies that CREDO staff have helped organize. As a result, our members have helped win historic victories for peace, women’s rights, environmental protection and economic justice.

CREDO Donations
Every CREDO customer is a philanthropist. Every CREDO product creates change. Whenever you use our mobile, energy, long distance or credit card services, you contribute to our mission of progressive social action. That’s because we donate a portion of our revenue—whose distribution is voted on monthly by our members—to progressive nonprofit groups working on key issues like women’s rights, the environment, peace and social justice. Since 1985, we’ve donated over $87 million, with the total growing by millions each year.

What We
Stand For
CREDO believes we all need to live our values.
That’s why, since day one, we’ve donated a portion of our revenue to progressive causes — over $87 million since our founding in 1985. CREDO members who use our products and services are the reason we’re able to make these donations. And members’ votes determine how we distribute the funds to the groups we support.
-
Economic Justice
Economic inequality is a threat to working families everywhere. That's why we fight for a living wage and for expansion of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
-
Voting Rights
The right to vote needs to be carefully guarded, now more than ever.
CREDO is working to protect and expand the right to vote and defend voters against discriminatory and racist voter-suppression laws.
-
Climate Justice
Climate change is a threat to our very existence on Earth.
We continue to fight for climate justice, from stopping fossil fuel infrastructure to holding corporations accountable for destructive acts.
-
Civil Rights
The fight for civil rights is not over.
From supporting activists on the ground to working with innovative, progressive groups, CREDO is fighting for the rights of those who are discriminated against based on their race, religion, sexual orientation or gender.
-
Womens Rights
Women’s freedom and equality is under constant attack. At CREDO, we fight for women’s rights, reproductive freedom, equal pay in the workplace and the empowerment of women.
-
Peace
CREDO has been a longtime supporter of groups that work with refugees in the worst war zones on Earth, and we will continue fighting to stop wars of aggression and working to promote peace.
