GivingTuesday 2022

We have the results of this year’s GivingTuesday poll that was up on our our home page during November!

We selected six local nonprofit organizations that have a positive impact in the communities we serve, and we asked you to vote for your favorites. (You could vote for up to three nonprofits!) Depending on how many votes they received, the organizations would get either $1,000 or $500. The nonprofits chosen for 2022 were: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids & East Central Iowa; Bridge Under the Bridge; Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity; Cedar Valley Humane Society; Discovery Living; and Time in a Bottle.

The Cedar Valley Humane Society ran away with the poll, earning 673 votes! The other top two winners were Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cedar Rapids & East Central Iowa with 240 votes; and Cedar Valley Habitat for Humanity with 175 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 and homeless animals during the holiday season — and throughout the year.
