$400,000 donated
WATERFORD — Charter Oak Federal Credit Union’s Matching Gifts Program donated a combined $400,000 from the credit union and its members that will benefit more than 300 charitable organizations. Charter Oak’s initial Matching Gifts pledge of “$100,000 in 100 Days” was doubled during 2019 – as it was during the 2018 campaign – after the credit union’s Board of Directors recognized the need to increase matching funds based on the volume of member donations. During 2019, Charter Oak’s Matching Gifts Program received nearly 1,000 donations from its members that it matched to 304 charitable groups, from individual $25 matches up to $500 member matches. This year’s Matching Gifts initiative began on Aug. 20 and ended on Nov. 19.
