Serving communities of the Inland Northwest.
In every corner of our region, dedicated people are taking the initiative to lift their communities.
Their creativity and stick-to-itiveness are inspiring youth, helping build bright futures, and providing hope. They're motivated by a desire to serve, whether responding to community crises, or helping bring a long-term goal to fruition. They are here for good!
At STCU, we want to help. And we know you want to help, as well.
STCU’s Here for Good Foundation awards grants to impact areas of education, arts & culture, and economic development. It ensures that our deep commitment to community support will continue to guide STCU in perpetuity, just has it has since our founding in 1934.
Schools and non-profit community organizations in Eastern Washington, Central Washington, Tri-Cities and North Idaho are invited to apply.
Since launching in 2023, the Here for Good Foundation granted $450,000 to the communities that STCU serves.
