PRESQUE ISLE, Maine–The County FCU is marking its 70th anniversary this year by making mini-grants.
Originally organized as Loring Federal Credit Union in 1956, The County FCU noted it has grown from a single-community institution into a statewide credit union with branches spanning from Bangor to Caribou.
“We are proud to be so deeply rooted in Aroostook County,” EVP Dan Bagley said in a statement. “For 70 years, our focus has been on helping our members simplify their financial lives and making decisions that truly serve their best interests. That commitment is reflected in every interaction, every product, and every relationship we build.”
Over the past seven decades, The County FCU said it has expanded through mergers, rebranding and strategic growth, while “remaining deeply committed to the communities it serves.”
Grants to be Awarded
Added COO James Mattila in a statement, “The County has always been connected to our communities, and we’re proud to celebrate 70 years of service. To honor that long-standing relationship, we’re launching a new Commitment to Community initiative and will award mini-grants of $2,600 every other month to local nonprofit organizations. The amount of $2,600 is in honor of 2026 being our 70th year.”
