BECU is now accepting nominations for the inaugural “People Helping People Awards”. The Awards recognize and honor BECU members and local non-profits supported by the membership in the Puget Sound area.
From now until the end of September, BECU members can nominate their favorite local non-profits to receive a $10,000 Community Benefit Award. All semi-finalists will have a chance to receive an additional $5,000 People’s Choice Award. This award will go to the non-profit organization that receives the most popular votes during an open vote period from 10/7-10/11 on BECU’s Facebook page. In addition, one BECU member will also receive a $15,000 Member Volunteer of the Year Award (payable to the nominated charity) in recognition of their work and support with the non-profit they nominated.
“As a not-for-profit credit union founded on the principle of people helping people, we are encouraged by the work done by our members and non-profit organizations in communities around the Puget Sound region,” said Sara Moorehead, VP of Community Affairs. “We’ve wanted to find a way to show gratitude to our members and at the same time provide much-needed funds to support the great work of local non-profits.”
