Today, First Tech Federal Credit Union announced it awarded more than $2.7M to 120 nonprofits serving local communities Oregon, California and Washington — including the Oregon Food Bank, Urban Gleaners, Valley Verde and EastWest Food Rescue.
First Tech’s annual contribution is a result of its commitment to provide 2% of the annual net income to charitable organizations across its footprint, while simultaneously raising an additional $720,000 from dedicated employees and members this year.
Rounding out the year, the credit union hosted two key annual giving initiatives, including:
- Innovation Grants program, which allowed First Tech to provide more than $450,000 to 40 organizations to help meet the food, shelter and safety needs of children and families. See some of the receipts below my signature.
- Season of Giving campaign, empowered employees to help direct $125,000 to 43 nonprofit organizations that they support through volunteerism and engagement.
Greg Mitchell, president and CEO at First Tech Federal Credit Union, shared the following statement:
- “With a strong commitment to food equity and innovation, we continue to invest in supporting the most vulnerable communities across our footprint. Community is at the heart of everything we do. We are fortunate to work with a number of strong and innovative partners who join us in delivering positive change and benefits to the communities we serve.”
