About Vibe Credit Union

Vibe Credit Union pairs general assistance grants with scholarships and community space support, and its recent giving shows a strong concentration in metro Detroit and nearby Michigan communities. The largest grants on file went to Habitat for Humanity and Habitat for Humanity Oakland County, both for general assistance, signaling support for local housing work alongside broader community needs. Other sizable grants reached Lighthouse of Oakland County, Metro Food Rescue, and Humble Design, all in Michigan. The foundation also operates scholarship programs for graduating high school seniors who are Vibe members, and it offers free community rooms across metro Detroit for nonprofits and local groups. That combination places education, basic needs, and practical community support at the center of its funding. With annual grants of $289,951 and total assets of $1,316,659,640, Vibe Credit Union gives at a local scale but across several support types. Its grantmaking includes unrestricted or general assistance awards, event sponsorships such as Pumpkinfest, and annual scholarship funding, which together point to a flexible community-oriented funding approach.
