Message to Our Members – April 2025

(2 Minute Read) — At Unitus Community Credit Union, we believe in doing what’s right—for our members, our employees, and the world around us. That’s why we’re proud to share exciting updates on our social responsibility initiatives and sustainability efforts.

We are launching a three-year initiative (2025-2027) focused on driving real impact in our communities. Our Social Responsibility Commitments include:

• Expanding first-time homebuyer and ITIN lending to make homeownership more accessible
• Supporting small businesses with dedicated lending initiatives
• Encouraging sustainable choices through Green Auto Loans
• Promoting financial security with rewards-based savings programs
• Investing in our community through increased volunteer hours

These initiatives reflect our ongoing promise to create financial opportunities while fostering a stronger, more equitable future.

We’re also excited to announce that our Unitus Business Center (UBC)-Tigard has earned LEED Silver Certification. This globally recognized achievement highlights our commitment to energy efficiency, cleaner air, and environmentally friendly building materials.

Beyond our buildings, we are actively protecting five acres of wetlands near our Tigard campus. Through our partnership with The Wetlands Conservancy, we have awarded a $25,000 Community Impact Grant to help preserve these vital ecosystems.

As part of our ongoing environmental commitment, Unitus employees will be participating in a volunteer cleanup event on Earth Day to help restore and protect the wetlands near our Tigard campus.

Thank you for being part of the Unitus community. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference—one loan, one volunteer hour, and one green initiative at a time.
