RICHLAND, Wash.—Gesa Credit Union said it will award more than $500,000 in grants to 43 organizations across Washington State as part of its Local Heroes Grant Program.
The top earning organizations will receive upwards of $50,000 to support their individual needs, the credit union said.
“Gesa’s Local Heroes Grant Program provides grants to organizations in the state of Washington that support any of Gesa’s outlined Local Heroes populations, including firefighters, law enforcement, teachers, healthcare workers, and veterans,” the CU said.
This year’s recipients were selected by the Gesa Community Foundation.
“These Local Heroes make our communities across Washington state better and we’re honored to support them,” said Angie Brotherton, executive director of the Gesa Community Foundation. “The applications we received were truly inspiring, and we were moved by each group’s commitment to serving our communities. We’re very appreciative of the selfless work that these organizations do and we’re thankful for their work.”
