Giving Back to the Community

Where We Focus Our Efforts

At Unitus, we are passionate about giving back to our local communities in which we operate. With locations across Oregon and in SW Washington, we are proud to actively engaged in all our branch communities through fundraising, volunteering, and partnerships with local non-profits. We focus our efforts towards working with organizations that positively shape financial education and health and human services. Our commitment to community exemplifies one of the principles that credit unions were founded upon — People Helping People.

Some of the organizations we partner with include:

Portland Rose Festival Mentor Program

Unitus is proud to take part in one of Portland’s most beloved traditions as the presenting sponsor of the Rose Festival Court. One of the unique opportunities associated with our sponsorship is a mentor program where we pair strong business women in the Portland area with each Princess.

Dream Come True Program

Unitus and Oregon State teamed up to create the “Dream Come True” Program to fulfill one child’s dream who is currently or in the past battled an unfortunate time of illness for every home Beaver football game during the season. This program helps provide a lasting experience to children and their families who are experiencing or have experienced an unfortunate time of illness. Learn more about this program and how you can nominate a child!

Throughout the year Unitus employees collectively volunteer over 1,300 hours each year participating in various community events that enrich the lives of others, including: building homes, mentoring at risk youth, making meals for shelters, and assisting at holiday toy drives.
