Honoring teachers that "rock".
Congratulations to our 2025 Teachers Rock winner, Tabitha Richards, Social Science Teacher. In celebration of National Teacher Day, we asked our members and social media followers to honor their favorite teacher and give them a chance to win $1,000. Below is a brief showcase of her support and accomplishments, and what made her nomination stand out:
Tabitha teaches at a small, rural K–12 public school, where she wears many hats—mentor, senior class advisor, graduation planner, project leader, union representative, and more. She supports students both inside and outside the classroom, showing up for games, fundraisers, and even leading summer learning through programs like National Geographic and the Center for Geographic Education in Oregon.
Contributing to local organizations making an impact.
Our commitment is to foster a welcoming environment and community by cultivating meaningful relationships with local partners. When we support local organizations through giving or volunteering, we also have the opportunity to get to know them better. This aligns with our purpose of building strong communities, one person at a time.

Cascade AIDS Project provides inclusive health, housing and social services for LGBTQIA+ people and those impacted by HIV.
Friends of the Children PDX
Friends of the Children provides relationship-based mentoring to the highest priority youth in our community.
Oregon Humane Society

SOLVE
SOLVE organizes individuals and communities across Oregon to improve and protect our environment.
Supporting the Black community
At OnPoint, we value inclusivity, which means standing up for those who have been unjustly targeted today and those at risk of being oppressed tomorrow. OnPoint is supporting organizations fighting for equal rights for our Black community, including the following.
Supporting the Latinx community
As we grow our support of the Latinx community, OnPoint continues to develop and evolve relationships with organizations such as Hacienda CDC. Formed in 1986 as a Latino Community Development Corporation, Hacienda CDC strengthens families by providing affordable housing, homeownership support, economic advancement and educational opportunities. Hacienda CDC is an organization deeply rooted in the local Latinx community and was one of three organizations selected for our 2021 employee donation campaign.
