PORTLAND, Ore.–In celebration of Earth Day 2024, OnPoint Community Credit Union donated $100,000 to local nonprofits working to preserve and protect the environment, natural resources and wildlife in Oregon and southwest Washington.
The donation is part of OnPoint's Green Horizons initiative, which launched in 2021 to help empower the credit union's members and employees to care for the planet. This year's beneficiaries are The Nature Conservancy in Oregon, Friends of Trees, McKenzie River Trust and Columbia Slough Watershed Council. Each organization will receive $25,000.
"Earth Day is a powerful reminder of how critical it is to preserve our planet for future generations," said President and CEO Rob Stuart. "The Green Horizons initiative is OnPoint's commitment to giving our community the opportunity to make a difference, while amplifying the work of local organizations dedicated to protecting our planet. We are proud to support these four incredible organizations that are at the forefront of environmental conservation."
OnPoint said Green Horizons provides members with financing discounts on electric or hybrid vehicles and solar panels, partners with local environmental nonprofits, and offers employees telecommuting programs, volunteer opportunities and environmental education. Since its launch, OnPoint has donated more than $500,000 to local nonprofits working to create a more sustainable future.
