…“Through careful and ethical stewardship of our members’ resources, financial success is shared by members and the communities that we so strongly support.”…
Our Community Investment Program is an important focus and one that gives Nelson & District Credit Union an advantage over our competitors. We have laid out a strategy to annually increase our contribution to the communities we serve since it is these communities that have contributed to our success as an organization. Since its inception in 2000, your credit union has invested more than $1.5 million back into its communities. The list below highlights the groups, projects or organizations we have supported this year in the communities of Nelson, Rossland and on the East Shore.
