FLINT, MI – Financial Plus Credit Union is proud to announce a donation of $40,000 to the United Way. The donation stems from an employee contribution campaign and will benefit the United Way of Genesee, Shiawassee, Saginaw, and Bay Counties. With this contribution, Financial Plus is the top-contributing financial institution for a local United Way employee campaign.
The campaign received its highest participation to date, with 173 employees contributing across the organization. Employees were given the option to contribute through regular deductions from the paychecks or opt for a one-time donation to the United Way. Overall, $18,200 will be donated to the United Way solely through employee contributions. Financial Plus has pledged to match all contributions, bringing the total donation to $40,000.
