Investing In Our Communities

We're a community credit union so it only makes sense that Libro Financial Group gets involved in the communities we serve. Libro has a long history of contributing to worthy organizations in our communities.

Donations & Sponsorships

Donations involve a gift of cash, cash equivalents or in-kind goods or services to a charity or other local organization.

Sponsorships are negotiated partnerships with other organizations to support an event, team or fundraising activity. Libro looks for sponsorship opportunities that represent our community, are aligned with Libro's message of freedom and "own your life" or with Libro's Community Builder program encouraging youth leadership and involvement. Examples of this could be a sports team or charity event hosted by a local service organization. In 2009, Libro donated over $110,000 to more than 200 organizations.

Contact your local Branch Manager to discuss donations or sponsorships.

 

Libro is a proud supporter of the Pillar Nonprofit Network
