Local organizations whose work centers around social, economic, and/or environmental justice and wellbeing have an extended opportunity to apply for a microgrant from Verity Credit Union through September 30, 2022.

Verity Credit Union’s mission centers the values of People, Planet, and Prosperity and strives to support organizations with limited access to traditional funding due to organizational size, age, or tax-exemption status. We welcome all nonprofit applications and some examples of what the grant can be used for is:

• Rent/Utilities costs for organization facilities
• Staff stipends and salaries
• Improvements to operations, such as new technology or software
• Research and development to create new or improve pre-existing programs
