About CorePlus Credit Union’s Sponsorship and Donation Program
CorePlus Credit Union is steadfast in their commitment to giving back to the communities served. Reinvesting into the community is our way of saying thank you to our Members who have chosen CorePlus as their financial services partner. We understand that many non-profits in our community provide vital services, yet face continual uncertainty in their funding streams. It is for this very reason that CorePlus Credit Union’s Sponsorship and Donation Program exists.
