BOULDER, CO (March 20, 2020) — To help meet the critical needs within our community resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic, Elevations Credit Union will match donations made to the Elevations Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Fund, matching up to a total of $250,000.
“We believe in giving back to the people and places we serve. Our members, employees and local community are all feeling the impacts of COVID-19. We want to provide an easy and effective way to help our neighbors during this time,” stated Dennis Paul, Vice President of Community Affairs.
Donations made to Elevations Foundation by March 31 will be matched by Elevations Credit Union and go to benefit those in our Front Range communities who are directly impacted by COVID-19. In this rapidly unfolding situation, you can rest assured that Elevations Foundation will maximize the impact of your donation by partnering with local organizations that can deliver funds and support to first responders and their families, and those directly impacted by COVID-19. These donations will go to organizations like local hospital foundations, agencies providing emergency childcare and organizations that can channel funds to directly impacted individuals and families in the community.
“When tragedy hits, we turn to our community to donate to relief efforts in times of need. Together, we can put $500,000 to work in our community’s fight against the COVID-19 crisis,” said Elevations Foundation’s Executive Director Phil Ferrante-Roseberry. “We are currently building a network of partners in our service area along Colorado’s Front Range. This includes community foundations, social service providers and emergency assistance organizations. It is our mission to make sure we are assisting those who need our support most.”
Elevations Foundation will be working hard to distribute donations as soon as possible. Details regarding these funds, and our partners and the role they will play in distributing aid will be made available as they are finalized.
