North Coast Cares

Putting our mission of “Helping YOU Thrive” into action.

Thriving Is Better When We Do It Together

At North Coast Credit Union, helping you thrive isn’t just about our members. It’s about our whole community. Through North Coast Cares, we sponsor local events and partner with organizations that make Whatcom and Skagit stronger. Our employees also receive quarterly paid volunteer hours to give back, and through the North Coast Cares Fund, each staff member can direct a $250 donation to a local nonprofit of their choice on their work anniversary.

Who We’ve Supported

These are just a few of the amazing organizations and events we’ve had the privilege to support through North Coast Cares. Together with our staff and members, we’ve helped them make a lasting impact in our community.

Share An Opportunity

If your nonprofit or community group could benefit from a financial donation or sponsorship, please fill out this form to tell us more about your organization and how we can help. We’ll reach out if your request aligns with our North Coast Cares priorities.

  • Invite our staff and members to get involved too

  • Build financial wellness and overall well-being

  • Create lasting impact, not just a one-time boost
