A credit union in Western Manitoba is celebrating a milestone in 2023.

Westoba is celebrating 60 years of success in business. To show appreciation to their members and their communities, they’re giving away $60,000.00 through Westoba Inspire in 2023.

Westoba Inspire, Westoba Credit Unions' community investment program will open its first round of application submissions March 1 - 31, 2023 for projects up to $30,000.00. "Thanks to our staff, members and communities, Westoba Credit Union is celebrating 60 successful years of business,” said Jim Rediger, Westoba’s President, and CEO.

“Giving back $60,000.00 through the Inspire program is a great opportunity to say thank you and for our communities to complete projects that will make a lasting impact in their areas. This support helps build strong and independent communities, which is at the heart of the credit union difference.”

Applicants must be a non-profit, charitable, or community organization or have a charitable fiscal agent to act on their behalf. Applications are reviewed by Westoba’s Community Investment Committee which includes staff, member, and Board representation. Successful applications are chosen based on their ability to align with Westoba’s goal to support community infrastructure.

 

Westoba Inspire Applications will be accepted through an online application form available March 1st – 31st at www.westoba.com.

 

Westoba’s Inspire was created in 2017 and is the result of Westoba’s Community Investment Fund in partnership with the Brandon Area Community Foundation.
