The Crossroads Community Investment Fund (CIF) was established in 2009 and each year funds are allocated to non-profit organizations that support community development, stated the Crossroads Credit Union website.
The purpose of the Community Investment Fund is to provide a strong foundation to build upon and enhance the quality of life for the people in Crossroads Country.
The recipients of this years Community Investment Fund were announced on October 21. The Canora Fire Brigade Inc. was the big winner and received $15,000 that will be used to purchase a new Side by Side.
Other recipients were, the Canora Composite School received $5,000 for a student wellness and sustainability Initiative and Canora Leisure Services received $5,000 towards a new aquatic park.
Each of the following received $3,000 towards their projects: Canora Junior Elementary School (Learning Device Purchase), Preeceville Economic Development (Downtown Park), Preeceville School (Technology Update), and the Stenen Dew Drop In Club (Total Roof Repair).
Each year a set amount of funding is allocated towards the fund. Once the CIF opens for applications in June, non-profit organizations can apply for funding until the closing date of August 31. Once the closing date passes, the CIF committee reviews the applications and chooses which projects will receive funding for that year.
In the past 12 years the fund has allocated over $420,000 to more than 120 community projects and initiatives.
“We are proud of our cooperative roots and helping our communities will always be a priority. It's about grassroots, hometowns and cooperation. That's the Credit Union Difference.”
