Making a $430k Impact on 2024

You’ve heard about the credit union difference time and time again. While it can present in many ways, at its core, it is all about returning value to our members and the community. In 2024, we made an impact on our community through time spent, knowledge shared, and donations made.

 

 

Staff-Led Program Supports Passions
We take the passions of our employees seriously. That’s why we implemented the Community Action Team (CAT) more than three decades ago! Employees help us decide who we’re giving to and lead the fundraising events that help impact their communities. 

 

In 2024, CAT:

  • Supported 64 organizations
  • Fostered 250 volunteer hours
  • Collected an impressive 4,610 items
  • Raised $48,500

Putting Education at the Forefront
Whether it’s leading financial literacy classes or supporting further education, we know how important it is to promote knowledge.

 

In 2024, we:

  • Facilitated 50 educational sessions for 920+ participants
  • Awarded $20,000 in scholarships

Providing for Schools & Students
The School Support Drive, our very own nearly 30-years-running fundraiser, has evolved to meet the needs of schools and the students they serve. This year, we opened up the process for community nominations, ensuring that our support is targeted where it’s needed most. The new approach allowed us to give to great causes like after school programs and new playground equipment.

 

In 2024, the School Support Drive:

  • Impacted 13 communities
  • Supported 25 schools and organizations
  • Donated $41,750

Sponsoring What’s Important to Our Members
We love supporting clubs, organizations, and events that are important to our members. Our sponsorship program is designed to field requests from you and put our funds where they can help most.

 

In 2024, our sponsorships:

  • Spanned 29 communities across 3 states
  • Supported 201 organizations
  • Donated $184,602

Corporate Donations that Make a Difference
Much like our sponsorship program, our donations committee fields requests from community members, ensuring we’re fulfilling the needs you find most important. 

 

In 2024, our donations:

  • Supported 70 organizations
  • Totaled $150,300

Staying Active in Our Communities
We love staying connected. Whether through events we attend or those we host, coming together with our community drives us.
