The Community Foundation of Prince Edward Island,is pleased to announce that PEI Credit Unions are the first major donor to participate in the foundation's Securing a Future Campaign, with a contribution of $25,000. Presenting a cheque to Tom Davies, Vice-President of the Foundation, is Sarah Millar, chair of the PEI Credit Union Managers Association. Also representing credit unions is Bernard Gillis and Alfred Arsenault (right). The goal of the campaign is to help the Foundation achieve self-sufficiency, in order to continue delivering its programs and services into the future.
The Community Foundation of PEI is a non-profit organization providing a vehicle for individuals, groups and communities to invest in the future of their communities. By managing contributions and endowments from various sources, the foundation in turn annually provides grants and special awards, in support of social, educational, health and other initiatives across the Island. The CFPEI hopes to increase its endowment portfolio to $5,000,000 over the next 5 years, leading to a potential of $250,000 in annual community assistance granting.
The Community Foundation of PEI prides itself in connecting caring people with worthy causes, and Vice-President Tom Davies says the credit union connection is a great fit. "This is a perfect example of the corporate community getting in touch with the community foundation and its projects."
Donations to the campaign may be made at the CFPEI office. More details at 892-3440, or cfpei@pei.aibn.com.
