Charter Oak gift match raises $400,000 for local organizations
Charter Oak Federal Credit Union’s matching gifts program raised a total of $400,000 for local nonprofits in 2020. This is the third consecutive year the Board of Directors has elected to double the credit union’s match to $200,000, following a large number of member donations.
The program, which runs from August to November, matches donations to charities made by credit union members.
This year’s campaign matched 970 donations to 283 organizations, including the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation, Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center, and St. Vincent de Paul Place. The credit union and its members have donated nearly $1.6 million through the program since 2016.
