Community Investment Program Open

Coast Central Credit Union announced that the fall 2018 round of its CCCU Dean G. Christensen Community Investment Program is now open.  A total of $100,000 is available – double the amount in prior rounds – to support local organizations throughout its tri-county area.  Grant amounts range from $3,000 to $25,000.  The giving program was created in 2008, and since then has awarded a total of over $1,000,000 to 100 organizations throughout Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity counties.

Applications may be obtained online at coastccu.org under the Community tab, or by calling Coast Central’s VP of Marketing and Communications Colleen Toste at (707) 445-8801, x 309.  The deadline is Friday, August 31.  A committee comprised of credit union staff will review all completed applications and then make recommendations to Coast Central’s Board of Directors, who ultimately approves the grants.

It has over 68,000 members and operates 12 Member Services Branches throughout Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties, including McKinleyville and Bayshore Mall, which are open 7 days a week.  Additionally, members have access to a network of 30,000 free ATMs nationwide.
