Purdue Federal Credit Union doubled its support of good work in La Porte County by becoming the first business to open a new community fund with Unity Foundation of La Porte County during the Lilly Endowment GIFT VI match program. Businesses, families or individuals may double their donations by opening new community funds or contributing to existing ones. The $1 million match opportunity is open through March 31 – or until the funds are all unlocked.
Purdue Federal Credit Union Account Vice President Jeff Love presented a check to Unity President Maggi Spartz, left, and Unity board member Liz Bernel. The Credit Union came to La Porte County in December 2010 after acquiring Members United Federal Credit Union, and has locations on the Purdue North Central campus and in La Porte. Love said, “We wanted to take advantage of the Lilly match because we know it’s an infrequent opportunity. We decided on the La Porte market to make a lasting gift as our intent is to be committed to the area for the long-term, and we are actively looking to grow our presence here.” For more information about the Lilly match opportunity, call Unity at 219-879-0327.
