Donating 41 grants to serve our communities

We are donating 41 grants of $2,500 each to non-profits within the communities we serve, totaling more than $100,000 in donations throughout Central and Southern Indiana.

Our Team Members were asked to nominate the non-profits they feel passionate about supporting, and one non-profit was selected for each branch and department within the organization.

“These wonderful organizations support a similar mission and serve the local communities where Centra has a presence. Credit Unions were built on the premise of People Helping People, and we are excited to provide support to these causes,” President and CEO Rick Silvers said.

“Centra Team Members love being able to support the causes they care about through this program, and we are proud to be able to support the communities we serve with these donations,” said Centra Community Involvement Officer Jenni Carr. “We chose to support many local non-profits, along with a few national organizations like the American Red Cross and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.”

Selected organizations are currently being notified of the donations with the funds being delivered to the selected non-profits by the end of November.
