Community Legacy Funds

Before joining to become Cascadia Credit Union, Osoyoos, Revelstoke, and Summerland Credit Unions each committed $1,000,000 to establish a community legacy fund. This $3 million investment reflects our shared values and long-standing commitment to supporting the people and places we serve.

How the funds work

Each community’s fund generates income over time, with grants beginning once sufficient interest has accrued. Summerland’s contribution was made in 2024, enabling its first intake in fall 2025, while Osoyoos and Revelstoke contributions were made in 2025, with their first intake planned for fall 2026. These funds support charitable initiatives, grassroots projects, and bold ideas that help our communities thrive for generations to come.

The funds from each of the three communities are held within our local community foundations:

• Summerland Credit Union Legacy Fund: Held with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen
• Osoyoos Credit Union Legacy Fund: Held with the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen
• Revelstoke Credit Union Legacy Fund: Held with the Revelstoke Community Foundation

All three communities will be accepting applications for these legacy grants in the fall of 2026.

2025 Grant Recipients

Summerland grant recipients were chosen in early 2026. Information about the Summerland grants will be posted here on our website.
