ST. CLOUD, Minn. —The TriUnity Foundation has announced the distribution of $95,000 in financial assistance to 23 individuals and families facing terminal illness in its most recent giving cycle. The grants were made possible through the generous support of St. Cloud Financial Credit Union, Altra Federal Credit Union, Mazuma Credit Union, SharePoint Credit Union, and Cornerstone Foundation, along with funds raised during the Foundation’s March Light the Way Gala.

The organizations said the cycle continues TriUnity’s mission of providing financial relief during life’s most difficult seasons—empowering recipients to focus on what matters most: time with their loved ones.

“These awards represent more than just financial assistance—they represent the heart of the credit union movement,” LeAnn Case, Chair of TriUnity Foundation, said in a statement. “Credit unions are showing up for their members when they need it most, and in doing so, strengthening both trust and connection in their communities.”

The organization said grants alleviate the pressure of everyday expenses, allowing families to focus on quality of life. Each credit union partner directly supports its members through these grants, reinforcing the credit union difference in action.

An Invitation to Credit Unions

TriUnity Foundation said it is actively welcoming new credit union partners to join this impactful initiative. Participation not only changes lives—it can also strengthen member relationships and protect the institution’s bottom line.

“When members are under extreme financial stress, they often face impossible choices about which bills to pay,” Case added. “By supporting TriUnity, credit unions give their members a fighting chance to stay financially afloat—and in doing so, reinforce trust, loyalty, and care in moments that matter most.”
