Closing 2025 with a Full Heart
$75,000 Invested in 15 Nonprofits
As Jolt wrapped up a successful year, our Board of Directors paused to ask one simple question:
How can we end the year in a big way? The answer? Say YES to all of it.
In the true spirit of community, Jolt’s Board of Directors invited staff members across the organization to nominate nonprofit organizations close to their hearts. Organizations they volunteer with, believe in, and see making a real difference every day. Fifteen nominations were submitted, each representing meaningful, life-changing work happening right here in our region.
Rather than choosing just a few, the Board made a unanimous and generous decision…fund them all.
Each nonprofit received $5,000, resulting in a total investment of $75,000 directly into the place we call home.
“This decision reflects who we are at our core,” said Bob Looby, Chairman of Jolt Credit Union’s Board of Directors. “When you trust your people and listen to their passion, the impact is even greater.”
