EUGENE, Ore.– SELCO Community Credit Union has recently awarded 130 small grants totaling $30,200 in supplemental funding to K-12 schools in its service area as part of its 2007 Teachers' Mini-Grants Program.
Mini-Grants were awarded for up to $250 to educators who submitted lesson plans or projects to the SELCO website beginning in early September through the October 10 deadline. The entries were evaluated for their educational impact, responsible use of funds, and number of students to benefit from the project.
SELCO CEO Bob Newcomb said, "As a credit union founded in 1936 by school employees, we believe in the credit union philosophy of 'people helping people.' We continue the Mini-Grants program because it helps us get dollars right to where they're needed most–the classroom, where they can have the greatest benefit to students. That's the kind of local, community-focused approach that makes credit unions unique in the financial-services industry."
