United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley COVID Recovery Grant


The United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley (UWGCV) Endowment has released $500,000 to inspire and fund impactful COVID recovery efforts in the Chippewa Valley. Funds will be released in two waves; the Second Wave request for proposals will be available in late summer for funding beginning in Fall.

Rarely has humanity faced a threatening situation for which one important solution is our staying separated from one another. The consequences of our doing so are especially threatening to our counties’ young children and their families.

“Early childhood care and education is more than preparation for primary school. It aims at the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs in order to build a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. Early childhood care and education has the possibility to nurture caring, capable and responsible future citizens.” UNESCO

Royal Credit Union Ranked #1 in Wisconsin and one of America's best credit unions

Picture
​Eau Claire, WI – Royal Credit Union is ranked as the #1 credit union in Wisconsin by Forbes in the 2020 “America’s Best-in-State Credit Unions” publication. Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to produce the third annual best credit union by state ranking. Nearly 25,000 consumers in the US were surveyed for their opinions on their financial relationships. Credit unions were evaluated on overall recommendations and satisfaction in five key areas: trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services and financial advice.
 
“We are honored to be named by Forbes as one of the best credit unions in America and #1 in Wisconsin,” said Brandon Riechers, Royal Credit Union president and CEO. “The key evaluation factors used by Forbes including creating trustworthy relationships and offering sound financial advice are cornerstones of our commitment to our Members. In addition, we recently launched an updated, award-winning website and consistently offer Members access to digital products to provide them easy access to financial services. Credit unions are known in the marketplace for offering highly competitive rates and exceptional service. We are proud to rank among the best credit unions in the nation and will continue to use our values to guide our decisions as we work to make a positive impact in the communities we serve in Minnesota and Wisconsin.”
