First Credit Union and Insurance and Westview Agencies has announced it will be investing $11,350 in local non-profit organizations.
A community-investment fund is one way for the member-owned cooperative to help its clients and impact the community, stated First marketing and community impact manager Tara Chernoff in a media release.
The amount of the fund is determined by insurance premiums and assets for each credit union branch.
“As our business grows in each location, the funds will increase proportionately,” stated vice-president of communications and culture Sandra McDowell.
Non-profits can apply for the community-investment funds at firstcu.ca/personal/inourcommunity. The deadline is Friday, March 18.
