Financial Plus to Donate $40K to United Way
Financial Plus Credit Union announced a donation of $40,000 to the United Way. The donation stems from an employee contribution campaign and will benefit the United Way of Genesee, Shiawassee, Saginaw, and Bay Counties. With this contribution, Financial Plus is the top-contributing financial institution for a local United Way employee campaign.
The campaign received its highest participation to date, with 173 employees contributing across the organization. Employees were given the option to contribute through regular deductions from the paychecks or opt for a one-time donation to the United Way. Overall, $18,200 will be donated to the United Way solely through employee contributions. Financial Plus has pledged to match all contributions, bringing the total donation to $40,000.
“At Financial Plus, giving back isn’t just something we do, it’s who we are. We truly believe in the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people,’ and every year, more of our team steps up to support the United Way. Their generosity speaks volumes, showing how much they care about uplifting underserved communities and local nonprofits. We’re grateful for their passion and are proud to continue making a difference in the communities we serve,” said DeAnna Wallace, SVP of people & retail delivery at Financial Plus Credit Union.
"We are so thankful for this contribution and the dollar for dollar match. The pledges and the match make this our largest local campaign partnership in the financial sector," said Jamie Gaskin, CEO of the United Way of Genesee County, regarding the employee campaign with Financial Plus.
The United Way advocates producing better results within the community. They work with partners to surround children, individuals and families with the resources they need to succeed at all stages of their lives.
