What an exciting month around the branches and offices here at Vibe Credit Union!
You can literally feel the buzz of excitement. After three years of dreaming and planning, we have officially launched the Good Vibes Foundation, Vibe Credit Union’s charitable arm, created to help us show up for our communities in even bigger ways.
I’m also honored to share that I’ll be serving as the Executive Director of the Good Vibes Foundation, and I cannot wait to build what comes next with our members and community partners.
Why start the Good Vibes Foundation?
So let’s chat about why Vibe Credit Union wanted to start a foundation.
We’ve been committed to serving the community, with over $1.5 million invested back into the communities we serve and 21,000 impact hours volunteered since 2022.
We’re proud of that, and we also know we can do more. By creating the Good Vibes Foundation, we can fundraise directly, apply for grants, and give in more impactful and meaningful ways so we can amplify our community impact.
The name (because yes, we had fun with it)
Of course, we can’t talk about launching a foundation without chatting about the name! With a name like Vibe Credit Union, I’m sure you can imagine we get to have a little fun around here. As we were tossing around ideas, it quickly became clear there was no better name for the work we’re inspired by, and the Good Vibes Foundation was born.
Where we’ll focus
Speaking of inspiration, the Good Vibes Foundation will focus on three core areas of impact:
- Financial Education: helping people build confidence and capability around money
- Food Security: supporting programs that help ensure neighbors have what they need
- Housing Stability: partnering to strengthen stability and opportunity at home
Working closely with our nonprofit partners, we want to support their amazing programming and help provide a more secure future for our neighbors.
How you can get involved (and have a blast doing it)
We’ve had many members ask how they can get involved, and we’re so excited to invite you to our inaugural fundraising event:
Dinkin’ With Purpose Pickleball Event
A very low-stress pickleball party where you can learn to play, try the sport for the first time, or play with other dedicated pickle enthusiasts. We’ll have pizza, pop, and prizes throughout the day.
Not into pickleball? That’s okay too. There will be ping pong, golf, and sport simulators, and a cash bar if that’s more your speed.
Join us on March 21, 2026, from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. at Paddle & Par in Beverly Hills, Michigan.
Register for Dinkin’ With Purpose
We’ll continue to share the story of the work the Good Vibes Foundation is doing, and how your membership at Vibe Credit Union makes it all possible.
