Community Impact

Organizations may apply all year long; we are no longer limiting applications to specific dates.
People helping people. That’s what a credit union, and in particular, Navigant Credit Union, is all about. We are committed to the financial well-being of the families, businesses, and communities we serve, and have been since our founding in 1915. That’s why we donate over $1 million each year to worthwhile causes and organizations throughout Rhode Island.

Community Impact Services

Donations

Navigant Credit Union considers nonprofit requests for direct support of programming that primarily benefits Rhode Islanders. Donations are focused on meeting the community’s needs in the areas of Food Insecurity, Housing, Financial Literacy, and Public Health, Safety & Wellbeing.  Other areas of need will also be considered.  Requests should be submitted at least six weeks prior to the date a decision on the request is needed.

Please note that we do not support individuals, salaries, travel expenses, or scholarships.*

What you’ll need:

  • Tax ID#
  • W-9 or 501c3 IRS designation letter

We encourage organizations to submit one application for all requests for the calendar year regardless of whether they are for direct program support (donation) or sponsorship.  This application allows for combined requests of both donations and sponsorships.

We also encourage organizations who may be seeking volunteers in addition to a donation or sponsorship to simultaneously complete our Volunteer Request Form which is accessible within the Donation/Sponsorship Application or in the Volunteer Force Section below
