Alliant Asks You To Vote For Your Favorite Charity
October 05, 2011 | Alliant Credit Union
How do you want the Alliant Credit Union Foundation to distribute $40,000 in grants to four pre-selected charities? It's up to you in the Foundation's Make It Count online poll, which began September 1, 2011, and runs through October 31, 2011.
Each participating charity will be awarded a grant. But how much they receive depends on the number of votes they receive. To learn about Make It Count, the charities and how to cast a vote for the charity that means most to you, visit Facebook or here.
To select the contenders, the Foundation asked Alliant employees to nominate their favorite charities. Then, the Foundation chose four charities that best reflect its mission: to promote economic empowerment and help people achieve self-sufficiency. (Note: the Foundation's funding comes from surplus capital that Alliant has built up over the years and its expenditures have no affect on members' dividends and share value.)
Voting ends at 5pm CT on October 31, 2011. Three separate votes per person will be accepted. Alliant will announce the final results on November 7, 2011, so check back or like and follow us.
Meanwhile, going forward, if you have a charity in your community that you would like to nominate to receive a grant from the Alliant Credit Union Foundation, suggest it to the foundation by leaving a comment on Facebook or by emailing us at .
