“The credit union mantra has always been about neighbour helping neighbour and this year has highlighted that even more for us,” said Susan Byrom, executive director of the First West Foundation. “Our communities need us right now and, we couldn’t be prouder to see the First West Foundation stepping up in the community to help these vital organizations continue the incredible work they do.”

Since 1998, the Envision Financial Community Endowment has provided $4.6 million in grant funding for 391 projects.
