Community Support Policy And Procedure
Rocky Credit Union supports initiatives of value to our members and to our trading area. As long as benefit to the community is evident, requests from members take precedence over requests from non-members. Local requests from non-members are considered if members benefit directly or indirectly. Requests from third-party fund-raisers will be denied.
Donations must be in keeping with Rocky Credit Union’s principles and community image.
The recipient of funds or support is expected to ensure Rocky Credit Union receives adequate public exposure if appropriate (i.e. cheque presentation in local paper, acknowledgements at event).
Requests unlikely to be funded include group excursions, tours, individual sponsorships, programs with religious focus, professional or technical societies, extended multi-year commitments, and political organizations.
In support of our community, Rocky Credit Union staff may be able to provide assistance with financial information and partnership opportunities.
Cash donations may be considered when other options are not possible.
Retroactive funding will not be considered.
Eligible Organizations and Activities:
•Youth and education
•Community Agencies and Facilities
•Culture and Arts
•Social Agencies, Programs and Charities
