Community & Sponsorship
At Western Rockies, we view our community relations not as extracurricular, but as a commitment. We believe in the credit union philosophy of "people helping people," and one of our values is social responsibility. We were born and raised right here in Mesa County, and folks here have trusted us to meet their financial needs and to help them improve their financial lives for more than 80 years. We are proud to contribute to our community by actively participating as a member of the western slope family.
Civic Pride
We proudly support organizations that help improve the lives of our members through education, financial literacy, safety and wellness. We participate in city-sponsored events with community partners i, as well as many non-profit organizations whose goal is to help our members, children, pets and veterans.
Donations/SPONSORSHIPs
The handful of schoolteachers who founded Western Rockies in 1938 created opportunities for members to realize a better life. Their values and goals resonate today in everything we do. Western Rockies makes contributions to organizations, and activities operating within the counties we serve, emphasizing:
- Education & Financial Literacy
- Community Development
- Support for Youth
Other organizations or activities may also receive financial support. Their selection as recipients will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Western Rockies considers funding for nonprofit organizations, local government-sponsored projects, and educational institutions and foundations, with some exceptions. We are unable to support requests for the following:
- Individuals (for purposes such as individual study, research or travel grants)
- Individual or school team sport activities or pageants, including travel or competition costs
- Political activities (including candidates, campaigns, and Political Action Committees)
- Graduation and all-night parties
Other categories may be deemed outside the parameters for consideration upon further review.
