Crossroads Community Investment Fund   
Building a strong foundation for our communities to build upon. 

What is the Crossroads Community Investment Fund?

The Crossroads Community Investment Fund (CIF) was established in 2009 to support local non-profit organizations and strengthen the communities we serve.

Each year, funding is allocated to projects and initiatives that enhance quality of life across Crossroads Country. Since its inception, the fund has invested over $779,000 into more than 210 community projects and initiatives.

The program opens for nominations in June and closes on August 31 each year. During this time, community members are invited to nominate local non-profit organizations and initiatives that make a difference. The CIF Committee also reviews the program annually to ensure it continues to meet the evolving needs of our communities.

We’re proud of our cooperative roots—supporting our communities isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are.


It’s about grassroots, hometowns, and cooperation.
That’s the Credit Union difference.
