Land of Lincoln Credit Union (LLCU) announced Friday the final tally of donations collected through the LLCU Designated Charity of the Year Program for each LLCU market has been determined and disbursed.
The amount raised by employees and matched by the organization totaled $15,000, which has been distributed to 10 different designated nonprofit service organizations. The organization designated for Effingham was Fear Nothing, which received $2,071.60.
Several years ago, LLCU launched the “Charity of the Year” program, which encourages employees to personally donate to a designated charity for each LLCU market (these nonprofit organizations are nominated and voted for by LLCU employees). Then, LLCU employees are provided with an opportunity to donate either through payroll distribution, branch fundraising efforts, or a combination of the two.
