The Heritage Credit Union Legacy Fund was established as part of the merger between Heritage Credit Union and Connexus Credit Union effective March 1, 2022. To provide a greater impact to the community, Connexus Credit Union’s philanthropic program, Connexus Cares, matched the Heritage Credit Union Legacy Fund donations for a total of $200,000.
“These deserving recipients have a history of providing purposeful, life-changing programs for people of all needs. Our goal is to help these organizations not only sustain their operations, but grow them,” stated Heather Ristow, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Connexus Credit Union. “The Heritage Credit Union Legacy Fund and Connexus Cares’ donation team is honored to provide these donations so that each organization can focus on doing what matters most: providing meaningful services that improve lives and benefit our communities.”
