YORKTON – Cornerstone Credit Union announced today that it will award $100,000 through the annual community investment program.
This is a new record for the most funds ever given out in a single year through Project Cornerstone.
“It’s a major milestone for us and we’re excited to make an even bigger impact in our communities,” said Cornerstone Credit Union CEO Doug Jones.
Applications are now open on and will be accepted until July 31. A thorough selection process will follow, with recipients to be announced Oct. 16-20 to coincide with National Co-op Week.
Eligible community groups can apply for projects or programs that support youth and education or community and economic development. Project Cornerstone funding is intended to build, expand, and upgrade facilities or develop programs that improve the quality of life in local communities.
Last year, Project Cornerstone distributed $75,000 between projects in Neudorf, Saltcoats, Vibank and Yorkton. Since 2006, the program has awarded $451,000 to 41 community projects across the region.
