BOULDER, Colo.–– Elevations Credit Union said its members can now easily donate to local COVID-19 relief through the CU’s giving program, “Local Change.”
In addition, all donations made through Local Change this year will be matched by Elevations Credit Union.
ECU said with Local Change, members can opt in to automatically round up their debit card purchases and donate the change to Elevations Foundation, which will maximize the impact of contributions. Elevations Foundation is partnering with local organizations that deliver funds and support to first responders and their families, and those directly impacted by COVID-19, the credit union said.
Local Change donations will go to two designated local organizations each month. Through the end of June, Local Change donations will help meet the increased community need for two local food banks: Community Food Share and Food Bank of Larimer County.
‘Easy Way to Show Support’
“Elevations Local Change has always been an easy way for our members to show their support for our community,” stated Dennis Paul, Elevations Credit Union’s VP of community affairs. “With the help of our members, we have already contributed $150,000 for local COVID-19 relief. We are proud to provide a simple way for our members to round up their change and support their neighbors during this pandemic.”
