Each year, OnPoint’s annual employee giving campaign donates $100 on behalf of each of its employees to select organizations that are making a difference in the community. The campaign resulted in gifts of $32,023 to the Oregon Zoo, $23,687 to Adelante Mujeres, and $25,290 to the Urban League of Portland. Typically held during the holiday season, due to the unprecedented community need created by COVID-19 and today’s economic and social climate, OnPoint moved up this year’s campaign.
“OnPoint’s generous gift to the Oregon Zoo Foundation will support the daily care of over 2,500 animals at the zoo during a time of great uncertainty and need,” said Julie Fitzgerald, Oregon Zoo Foundation’s Executive Director. “Every dollar helps continues our mission to provide education, animal welfare and conservation. We’re profoundly grateful to have the support of this community.”
“We are so grateful to OnPoint Community Credit Union for partnering with us on our mission to educate, empower and provide entrepreneurship opportunities to Latina women and families in Oregon,” said Bridget Cooke, Adelante Mujeres Co-Founder and Executive Director. “This support will help us deliver holistic programming to more than 9,000 people and ensure we can continue to respond to the needs of our community in these challenging times.”
