Matching power makes a difference: CoVantage Cares Foundation raises over $500,000 for local nonprofits

Posted

MENOMINEE, MICH. – The CoVantage Cares Foundation gratefully announced the successful conclusion of its 10th annual Giving Tuesday campaign.

From Dec. 2 through Dec. 16, the initiative raised an impressive $502,900 to benefit 12 nonprofit organizations serving communities where CoVantage Credit Union operates.

The CoVantage Cares Foundation matched up to $200,000 in donations, inspiring donors to support and take advantage of the power of the match.
“Celebrating ten years of giving through CoVantage Cares is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people come together with a shared commitment to generosity,” said Charlie Zanayed, CoVantage Credit Union CEO and CoVantage Cares Foundation president.

“We are deeply grateful for the kindness of our members, employees, and community partners who continue to make the Giving Tuesday campaign powerful. Every gift donated helps uplift twelve deserving non-profit organizations to expand services, reach more families and strengthen and enhance the communities we proudly serve. Your compassion and care enable these charities to do even more for our neighbors.”

The strength of this campaign comes from the commitment of the CoVantage Credit Union branches. By partnering with local non-profit organizations, each branch helped build meaningful connections and shine a light on the needs within the communities CoVantage serves.

“Every contribution becomes even more powerful through our matching program, turning individual generosity into a collective force for good,” said Stephanie Bartletti, Mission and Engagement vice president.

“We are honored by the kindness shown by our donors, regardless of size. Watching our community unite with such compassion reminds us that when we work as one, we can achieve remarkable things.”
