It's a new Helping Hand Grants record! Vision Credit Union is proud to announce that 40 organizations across our rural Alberta branch network have received a combined total of $250,000 through our 2024/25 Helping Hand Grant program. This year's disbursement marks the highest grant total and number of recipients awarded to date through this program!
Helping Hand Grants offer up to $10,000 in funding to qualifying organizations in support of capital projects that enhance rural communities in our branch network, helping community groups improve facilities, purchase essential equipment and expand their impact.
“The Helping Hand Grant program is a testament to the strength of rural Alberta,” said Steve Friend, CEO of Vision Credit Union. “These organizations do incredible work to support their communities, and we’re proud to give back in a way that helps them continue making a difference.”
Grant applications are evaluated based on their benefit to people and the broader community, with selections made by a committee of Vision Credit Union’s leadership. Since launching the program in 2023, Vision Credit Union has awarded over $630,000 in Helping Hand Grants, reinforcing its commitment to rural Alberta’s growth and success.
