BECU Foundation Awards $4 Million in Right Now Grants to Support Community Organizations
BECU's foundation has awarded a record $4 million in grants to support local organizations addressing financial well-being across Washington. The funding, distributed under the Right Now Grants program, supports initiatives focused on housing stability, education, workforce development, food security, and access to financial services. The grant recipients include long-standing partners of BECU such as credit unions Canopy Credit Union and Express Credit Union, along with nonprofits like FareStart and Solid Ground. These grants aim to scale existing programs that have already made an impact in their communities. The initiative reflects BECU's broader commitment to community investment, having previously delivered over $425 million in financial value to members through competitive rates and reduced fees. BECU emphasizes the connection between individual financial well-being and strong communities. This one-time funding cycle runs from October 1, 2026, through October 1, 2027.
