Everence® donated over $536,000 in January to 585 charitable organizations and congregations through its MyNeighbor program.
Since its inception in April 2017, the MyNeighbor program has generated over $2.7 million for congregations, schools and other nonprofit organizations.
With the MyNeighbor program, individuals and businesses generate reward dollars for their favorite nonprofits every time they use their MyNeighbor credit card from Everence Federal Credit Union.
Each time a cardholder uses it to buy groceries, pay bills or make other purchases, Everence will donate 1.50% of the purchase total to the charity of his or her choice. Then in January, Everence writes and sends checks to the selected charities.
“It is wonderful to partner with credit union members who use the MyNeighbor credit card to make a positive impact on so many worthy organizations that are making a difference in our communities and around the world,” commented Kristen Heisey, President and CEO of Everence Federal Credit Union.
As the MyNeighbor program grows, so does the involvement and impact of our nonprofits. For example, one nonprofit this year received over $13,000 generated by 22 MyNeighbor cardholders.
Since its inception in April 2017, the MyNeighbor program has generated:
