GivingTuesday 2021

The poll on our home page worked so well for GivingTuesday last year, we decided to have another GivingTuesday poll for 2021!

We selected six local nonprofit organizations that help people in our communities and asked you to vote for your favorites. (You could vote for up to three organizations!) Depending on how many votes they received, the organizations would get either $1,000 or $500. The nonprofits chosen for 2021 were: Foundation 2; HACAP; Jane Boyd Community House; Together We Achieve; Toys for Tots – Linn County/Cedar Rapids; and Waypoint Services.

The top three winners were: HACAP with 823 votes; Waypoint Services with 745; and Toys for Tots – Linn County/Cedar Rapids with 573 votes. Linn Area Credit Union donated $1,000 to each of these organizations. The remaining nonprofits received $500 each. (So, really, every nonprofit was a winner!)

We were very excited to give you the opportunity to participate in our GivingTuesday tradition! Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of local families during the holiday season — and throughout the year.
