Premier Members to donate $50,000 to benefit the Community Foundation Boulder County Wildfire Fund

BROOMFIELD, COLO (January 5, 2022) — With headquarters in Boulder, and branch locations in Louisville, Broomfield, and Boulder, Premier Members Credit Union’s local community has been horribly impacted by the recent wildfires. The Community Foundation Boulder County has activated the Boulder County Wildfire Fund to support those displaced and impacted by the fires. Premier Members Credit Union believes strongly in the philosophy of “people helping people,” and has announced that it will donate $50,000 to benefit the Community Foundation Boulder County’s Wildfire Fund.  In addition, Premier Members Credit Union will collect donations from its members and the public for the wildfire fund, through January 21, 2022. The credit union’s Louisville branch was closed due to the fires. It is expected to reopen later this week.

The Community Foundation Boulder County will apply donations made to the Premier Members Wildfire Fund to support the needs of the community as they emerge.

In addition to the Premier Members Boulder County Wildfire Fund, the credit union has also reactivated its Members Assistance Program.
