JACKSON, Mich.–The Community Choice Credit Union Foundation said that the Nonprofit Network will be awarded a $3,000 grant.
The award was chosen ahead of Community Choice’s anticipated merger with Michigan Community Credit Union in order to honor the charitable relationships MCCU has developed in the Jackson community and its commitment to supporting local nonprofits and community needs. MCCU staff enthusiastically supported Nonprofit Network as the recipient of Community Choice Foundation’s Give Big Grant, which is awarded quarterly to Michigan nonprofits that are valuably influencing local communities.
Nonprofit Network strengthens local nonprofits and enhances their impact through workshops, trainings and capacity building, as well as helps organizations rethink how develop solutions. The organization works with community-based non-profits and their boards to improve their abilities to give-back in meaningful ways. Programs include Bridges Out of Poverty, Diversity, Inclusion and Equity, and cognitive coaching to train organizations to be resilient, adaptive and sustainable.
“The NonProfit Network is a strong advocate with initiatives including Bridges Out of Poverty, a program which brings people together to build resources, improve outcomes, and support those who seek to move out of poverty,” said Liz Hoffius, Marketing Manager, Michigan Community Credit Union. “They are a wonderful support presence within the Jackson community. We’re so pleased that our partner has chosen to support this important organization.”
The grant funding will assist Nonprofit Network in helping other organizations maximize their community outreach.
Community Choice Foundation’s Give Big Grants program is made possible through the Credit Union’s payroll deduction program, in which more than half of Community Choice’s 244 employees have elected to donate a portion of their pay to fund the quarterly grants.
