The results are in! Based on feedback from Grow team members, the Grow Financial Foundation will be distributing $5,500 among a variety of local charities.

Last month, the Grow Financial Foundation hosted a campaign encouraging every team member to have a say in what charities would receive year-end donations. With a total donation amount of $5,500, each team member’s vote was worth about $10. Team members could vote to give their $10 donation to one of the charities listed or suggest another cause they are passionate about.

At the close of this campaign, we would like to share the missions of a few of the organizations our team members decided to support:

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

“The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.”

Make-A-Wish^® America

“Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.”

Boys & Girls Clubs of America

“To enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, responsible, caring citizens.”

Other organizations receiving donations from the Grow Financial Foundation include Florida Food Bank, Food Bank South Carolina and Habitat for Humanity.

We’re all in this together. The Grow Financial Foundation is always looking for 501(c)(3) organizations working in alignment with its mission: to encourage and support the health and wellness of individuals and organizations within the communities the credit union serves through financial, educational, social, physical and mental health strategies.
