Whitewater, WI – Fort Community Credit Union (FCCU) is proud to announce a donation of $909.09 to the Friends of
the Whitewater Public Library, supporting its mission to enhance library services, foster community engagement, and
promote lifelong learning opportunities for area residents.
The donation was raised through FCCU’s new employee charitable giving program, which allows team members to
voluntarily contribute a portion of their paychecks to local nonprofit organizations. In its inaugural year, the program
supported 11 local organizations selected for their meaningful impact on the wellbeing of the communities FCCU
serves.
The Friends of the Whitewater Public Library was chosen as one of the program’s first-year beneficiaries. The work of
the Friends strengthens the Whitewater Community by expanding access to educational materials, promoting
literacy, and creating a welcoming community space for learning, connection, and creativity. Through its support of
programs such as youth reading initiatives, adult education opportunities, and cultural events, the organization
ensures the library remains a vibrant cornerstone of the community.
“The library relies on strong community partners like the Fort Community Credit Union to help us further our mission
of creating innovative and welcoming spaces to everyone in our community,” said Sarah French, Assistant Director of
the Whitewater Public Library. “This donation will help the library provide essential services, materials, and programs
for people of all ages, and it is much appreciated.”
FCCU’s employee giving program reflects the credit union’s cooperative values and its commitment to empowering
team members to make a direct impact in their own communities. By combining employee contributions with
FCCU’s support, the program amplifies the reach of local nonprofits that are addressing important community
needs.
