WATERLOO, Iowa–Veridian Credit Union said it has awarded $70,000 in grants to 15 organizations across Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
Veridian awards Successful Financial Future Grants of up to $5,000 for general operating costs annually to nonprofit organizations who address barriers to financial stability through financial literacy and employment readiness.
“Deficiencies in financial literacy and employment readiness can create long-term barriers to a successful financial future,” said Angela Weekley, Veridian’s community inclusion manager. “Our grant program is aimed at identifying and supporting organizations who are helping people in our communities overcome those barriers.”
