Orange Credit Union are now accepting applications for community support projects and events that deliver direct benefits to Orange and the surrounding districts.

Each year, Orange Credit Union encourage requests for sponsorship from other non-profit community organisations that parallel their mission to be recognised as a major contributor to the local community. 

Orange Credit Union, founded by local people in 1964 as a mutual organisation, where deposits and loans stay in the local community. They are owned and operated by local people and therefore support the community who support them.

General Manager, Paul McNamara reflected, “Our Grants program has directly supported over 140 local community groups, schools and charities since 2007”. It is amazing to see the difference that less than $5,000 can make to our local, hard-working community groups. We are honoured to be in a position to assist on behalf of our 13,000 local members”.

If your school, organisation or charity can benefit from some extra funds for a project or event under $5,000 – then visit them online at www.orangecu.com.au to learn more. Applications close October 23, 2018.
