Valley First Community Endowment

This endowment was established in 2010 with a $1 million gift from Valley First Credit Union as a lasting legacy for the Okanagan, Thompson and Similkameen regions.

Each year, First West Credit Union donates a portion of its profits to grow the endowment, and the fund has now grown to over $2 million.

Distributions from the Valley First Community Endowment began in the Fall of 2011 to charities serving the communities in which Valley First operates. Over $1.1 million has been injected into the communities from the Fund since 2011.
