Mission Statement
We aim to be compassionate colleagues who invest our personal resources toward building a better local community for all.
Local Organizations We’ve Supported
Every quarter, we are proud to donate to deserving organizations that are working hard to make a difference in the community. These funds come from our employees who donate a portion of their paychecks, not because they have to, but because they want to.

How Organizations are Selected
Each quarter, any employees who contribute to the Employees Give Back Fund via payroll deduction, are asked to submit the names of organizations they wish to support. These could be organizations they’re involved with, one that a member told them about, or just an organization they discovered that supports a cause near and dear to their heart. All organizations are collected and researched, and summary information about them is dispersed to all contributors to read about and to vote on their top three choices. This is such a cool process for the employees to learn about new charities, non-profit organizations, and community groups in our area! Whichever organization gets the most votes for the quarter is selected!

None of this would be possible without the coordination and efforts of our Northwest Branch Manager and Employees Give Back Program Director. Gerardina Rodriguez. We cannot wait to see how the Program grows over the next year and beyond.
As director of the Employees Give Back Program. I really enjoy supporting our partners and advocating to make a difference in our community. Here at Great Basin. we all give a damn. We are all very passionate about living out our Credit Union's Core Values both in and out of the branch. We are here to make a difference in our Washoe County community not because we have to but because we want to.
