INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Even in a bad economy, FORUM Credit Union expected to see a solid response to its charitable giving programs. Unfortunately, with the state's unemployment rate hovering near the national average of just over 10%, those expectations failed to come to fruition for the $1 billion CU.
"We thought members would be interested in all of the opportunities FORUM offers for giving back; Pennies for Change, Habitat for Humanity Mortgage, Hybrid Auto Loans, Proceeds for Paws, and Charity Choice," said Marketing Manager Courtney Keeler. "Instead we saw that members were less concerned with giving, and more focused on their personal finances and job security. Perhaps we'll see an increase in social giving as the economy improves in the coming years."
