Employees deliver $4,500 to beloved nonprofits
Three areas of giving: arts, education, and community
[December 20, 2011]
Three times in the past year, STCU has asked community members, "Who do you love?" Their votes sent credit union donations to seven organizations that help make the Inland Northwest a great place to live.
Now, with 2011 drawing to a close, we put the question to our employees: "Who do YOU love?" We asked them to select recipients for end-of-year contributions in our three areas of giving: education; arts and culture; and community. Our 466 employees nominated more than 80 organizations. The three receiving the most votes will be surprised this week with $1,500 checks delivered by STCU employees:- Eastern Washington University Foundation.
- Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.
- Spokane Humane Society.
