The North Island College Foundation (NICF) will be able to support more students because of a donation from Coastal Community Credit Union.
Coastal Community presented the Foundation with a cheque for $26,250 on Sept. 25, which will further benefit students attending NIC.
“We are grateful to Coastal Community for its continued support of students and NIC,” says Diane Naugler, NIC Foundation executive director. “Through this latest contribution as well as its regular bursary, it is helping NIC in our efforts to build healthy, thriving communities, one student at a time.”
Because of successful financial results in 2022, the credit union was able to allocate one-time special funding to support communities across the Islands in the areas of education, healthcare, housing, mental health and food security.
“In 2023 we distributed $1.6 million from our Sharing Our Success program, and we have just started to see the impact the funds will have across the islands,” says Erika Nessman, Coastal Community area manager.
