QCU Community The Qualstar Community is YOUR Community
Giving. Why? And of course…who, what, when and how.
It’s all about community – a group of people having common interests; a group of people who might not all know each other or have all the same beliefs, but in a lot of small ways can do a whole lot to help out.
Why? We all give to others for various reasons…because we believe in a cause; because we want to make a difference; because we have a vested interest; because it makes us feel good; because it gives us perspective; because we feel like we should; because we may find ourselves in the same position of needing help someday; and sometimes – just because.
As your credit union, we have given to various organizations and causes over the years on behalf of our members – for all of those reasons listed above. The decision of who, what, when, and how has always been something we take very seriously. And, because our goal is to make a large impact on who we choose, we only work with one charitable partner each year.
Who? As we have done for the past several years, we are proud to partner with local Boys and Girls Clubs to help their commitment to enriching the lives of kids and their families in the communities we serve. Most of us were either a “club kid” or maybe even have one of our own now, and because they continue to enrich so many lives in our communities, the Boys and Girls Club organization is a worthy recipient of our charitable efforts throughout the year.
For every $1 SPENT Washington Clubs Generate $12.30 OF POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS in their local community.
What, when and how? All of our charitable efforts and funds raised throughout the year will benefit local Boys & Girls Clubs. Be on the lookout for campaigns dedicated to raising money for local Boys and Girls Clubs, including Youth Financial Literacy Month in April and other fundraising and volunteer efforts throughout the year – we’ll post information here and on Facebook when there are opportunities for our staff and members to participate!
