$300,000 was distributed to more than 20 nonprofits through the 2022 Numerica Charitable Fund. Numerica team members surprised local organizations with customized retro viewfinders. As nonprofit representatives flipped through the slides, a picture announced how much each was granted.

Giving back to people who need it most

This annual grant is awarded to organizations that foster education, support women and children, and work to end hunger and homelessness. The Numerica Charitable Fund is funded by Numerica members through Skip a Pay, a voluntary program available on certain qualified loans.*

“Numerica is proud to support organizations that show up for our most vulnerable community members when times are tough,” said Carla Cicero, Numerica president & CEO. “This annual grant program is just another way we show our commitment to enhancing lives, fulfilling dreams, and building communities.”

Giving back all year long

The Numerica Charitable Fund is just one way Numerica gives back to communities. In 2021, Numerica donated $1.4 million to organizations across Spokane, North Idaho, Tri-Cities, and Wenatchee.

Numerica also offers team members a paid day off every year to volunteer. Over the past 10 years, Numerica team members have volunteered more than 140,000 hours.

“In times of both crisis and prosperity, great communities find opportunities for helping others and giving back,” Cicero said. “I’m so inspired by the commitment of our Numerica team to the well-being of the communities we serve.”
