Press Release

Donations mark another record-breaking year of giving for OnPoint, which supported more than 350 nonprofits in 2025 

PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon’s largest credit union donated an unprecedented amount to 350+ nonprofits across Oregon and southwest Washington. This year’s giving totaled more than $4 million, and focused on food and shelter, youth services, financial education, and environmental stewardship
