Provide member-focused financial services while supporting local communities through charitable giving, financial education, and community development.
Iq Credit Union’s giving shows a strong local pattern: most recent grants go to organizations in Washington, especially around Vancouver and Clark County, with community donations often tied to education, financial literacy, events, and local needs. The foundation’s recent checks range from $5,200 to $71,678, and many awards are small to mid-sized general-support grants rather than tightly restricted project funding. In 2025, the largest grant in the recent list went to Kgw in Cincinnati for general support, while a second payment to the same organization in 2024 was designated for a Christmas toy drive. That mix of general support and seasonal community giving appears alongside support for Vancouver-area institutions such as Dba Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools and Lighthouse Financial Foundation. The foundation also backs groups serving children and youth, including Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals, Clark County Latino Youth Leadership, and Ridgefield Raptors. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s role looks less like a national grantmaker and more like a regional community donor with repeated support for local nonprofits, schools, and public-facing community programs.
Education is a recurring theme. Iq Credit Union gave $21,800 to Dba Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools for general support, and its active donation-request program includes financial education among the listed focus areas. Youth and community programming also appear in the recent grants. The foundation gave $10,000 to Columbia Play Project for general support and $10,000 to Clark County Latino Youth Leadership for general support, both in Washington. Local sports and public events are part of the portfolio as well. Ridgefield Raptors received $6,000 in 2025 and $5,500 in 2024, with the earlier grant marked to support the local baseball team. The foundation also gave $10,000 to Why Racing Events Inc in 2025 and $10,000 in 2024, both as general support.
The recent grant sizes cluster around modest awards: the 25th percentile is $7,849, the median is $9,375, and the 75th percentile is $12,000. Most grants in the list are general support, with a smaller number tied to specific activities such as a Christmas toy drive or local baseball. The grant record shows repeat support to some recipients across multiple years, including Why Racing Events Inc, Gowest, Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, Parks Foundation of Clark County, and Ridgefield Raptors. Iq Credit Union also accepts unsolicited donation requests through an online application, indicating a community-request model rather than a closed invitation-only process.
