Centra Credit Union recently supported 16 local nonprofits with $10,000 in donations as part of the Centra Foundation’s Pay It Forward campaign. Pay It Forward empowers Centra’s Team Members to lead mini-service projects in groups that support local nonprofits.
Centra and its Team Members love having the opportunity to get involved within the Communities they serve. As a financial institution rooted in the credit union philosophy of People Helping People, Centra actively seeks new ways to give their Team Members more opportunities to give back in unique and meaningful ways.
The following nonprofit organizations were supported as part of Pay It Forward:
- Corydon Police Station
- Foundation for Youth
- Harrison Township Fire Department
- Hope Southern Indiana
- Ivy Tech Food Pantry
- Lincoln Central Neighborhood Family Center
- Love Chapel
- McDowell Education Center
- Soup for Souls
- St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Charities
- Students Fund of Hope
- The Warming Station
- Triad of Brown County
- Turning Point Domestic Violence Services
- Wheeler Mission
No matter which project teams choose, Centra Foundation’s Pay It Forward campaign gives Centra and its Team Members another opportunity to live out their vision of creating value for each other, their Members and the Communities they serve. In the fourth quarter of 2025, 135 Team Members volunteered their time, and a total of $10,000 went back into the Communities Centra serves.
“This Centra Foundation program is another testament to Centra’s dedication to creating value for the Communities we serve,” Centra Director of Community Involvement Jenni Carr said. “I love seeing our Team Members getting creative and finding new ways to give back and support these nonprofits that provide valuable services to those in need. It’s truly amazing.”
Thanks to Centra’s success in 2024, the Credit Union was able to provide an additional $166,00 to the Centra Foundation. The Foundation then allocated a total of $30,000 across 60 teams in 2025 to “pay it forward” in the Communities Centra serves.
