Donation Request
Giving back to the community in which we serve
In an ongoing demonstration of the credit union philosophy "people helping people," Horizon Federal Credit Union supports charitable organizations in the communities where our members work and live. Horizon receives many solicitations for donations, volunteer support and community sponsorships. The following provides a guideline for how requests are considered. This assures that Horizon's charitable, financial resources are used in a way that best serves the membership. These guidelines will not cover every possible request, special need or opportunity; therefore, Horizon may make exceptions in granting contributions or community sponsorships.
Contributions/Donations
Horizon makes contributions to non-profit organizations that serve the communities in which the majority of our members and potential members work or live. In general, support is given to organizations that provide for the health, education and welfare needs of our members and potential members.
Community Sponsorships
Horizon will consider sponsorships to civic, recreational or charity events, programs and publications located within our member service area. As a sponsor, Horizon expects to receive published advertising or public name recognition from the requesting organization or group.
