Mission & Focus Areas
The mission stated in Rogue Credit Union’s 2024 filing is “to create the most loyal members in the nation by providing exceptional experiences that build mutually beneficial relationships.” The filing says its program provides a source of credit at a fair and reasonable rate and gives members an opportunity to use and control their money to improve their economic and social condition.
For Giving Local, the credit union says it typically supports organizations or groups focused on youth, family, education, and community sustainability. It considers whether a request will help build a stronger community, how many local people it will affect, and who will benefit.
Examples of supported organizations include ACCESS, which describes its mission as providing assistance to low-income individuals and families; Umpqua Valley Habitat for Humanity, which says it partners with low-income families seeking to own a home; and Asante Foundation, which says it raises funds and in-kind donations for Asante, a hospital and healthcare system serving Southern Oregon. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.
