OnPoint Community Credit Union and its employees donated $66,253 this year to four United Way chapters serving Oregon and southwest Washington. This contribution marks OnPoint’s 19th annual employee-led fundraising campaign, benefiting United Way in communities the credit union serves. Employees raised $51,253 through creative fundraisers, which OnPoint matched with an additional $15,000 corporate donation.
“Partnerships like this reflect the power of what we can accomplish for our communities together,” said Rob Stuart, president and chief executive officer, OnPoint Community Credit Union. “Our team is proud to support United Way’s efforts to expand education, health and family support programs throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.”
The campaign invited OnPoint’s more than 1,200 employees to make voluntary individual contributions to United Way through fundraisers such as prize drawings, vacation raffles, and Candy Grams. The donation will help fund health and education programs that provide kids and families with equitable opportunities to build a good quality of life. Examples include:
- United Way of the Columbia-Willamette’s Early Learning Hubs and other educational initiatives, connect parents and caregivers to free or low-cost preschool for their children, plus access to parenting workshops and classes.
- United Way of Linn, Benton and Lincoln Counties’ Linn Can, promotes the safety and well-being of Linn County’s children by raising public awareness about the effects of abuse and neglect.
- United Way of Central Oregon’s KIDS Center, provides no-cost evaluations, family support and therapy to victims of child abuse.
- United Way of the Mid-Willamette Valley’s Enrichment Academy, is a before- and after-school program designed to increase student achievement, improve student and family engagement, reduce hunger, and increase wellness.
“We appreciate OnPoint’s continued commitment to our communities,” said Kelly O’Lague, president and CEO of United Way of the Columbia-Willamette. “Their support helps us provide reliable services that make a meaningful difference for families across the region.”
The United Way donation follows another impactful year for OnPoint’s annual giving program, donating more than $4 million to 357 nonprofits in Oregon and southwest Washington in 2025. Learn more about OnPoint’s work to address the most critical needs in the communities it serves.
