The Lake Trust Credit Union Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing wellbeing in Michigan communities. To date, we’ve awarded a cumulative total value of over $1.8 million in scholarships, given more than $690,000 in community grants, and provided over 616,000 meals to those in need in our state.
By channeling the power of community through the Lake Trust Credit Union Foundation, we can work together to make an even bigger impact.
Through the Lake Trust Credit Union Foundation, we focus on wellbeing through the following areas of impact: Empowering entrepreneurs; enabling youth to thrive; fostering economic equity; supporting attainable and secure housing; and strengthening Michigan communities. To do this, our nonprofit provides grants and donations to support other local nonprofit groups and community projects that align with our areas of focus. The Lake Trust Credit Union Foundation also awards yearly scholarships to support students who wish to attend college or a trade school.
To further enhance our mission to support wellbeing in Michigan, the Lake Trust Credit Union Foundation launched an ongoing Raffle in October 2023. A portion of the proceeds from the Raffle support the work of our nonprofit, making it possible to give back to more organizations and community-based projects across the state.
