YORKTON – The Cornerstone Credit Union announced on Nov. 15 that it will award a total of $75,000 through the annual community investment program. The amount is a new single-year high for Project Cornerstone.

When applications opened in the spring, eligible community groups could apply for up to $50,000 in funding. However, Cornerstone Credit Union experienced a strong year financially, allowing it to invest even more into the program.

Project Cornerstone funding is intended to build, expand, and upgrade facilities or develop programs that improve the quality of life in local communities.

“Project Cornerstone is an important way for us to give back to the people and groups who keep our communities strong,” said Cornerstone Credit Union CEO Doug Jones. “We are fortunate to be able to invest more into this program and we are excited to contribute to some very deserving projects.”

Applications for Project Cornerstone funding closed at the end of September. A selection committee reviewed more than 70 applications and selected this year’s recipients after several rounds of deliberations with winners to be announced on Dec. 1.
