Westerra Credit Union

Founded in 1934 by a small group of teachers who pooled their funds to make loans to other teachers, Westerra Credit Union now has more than 90,000 members and total assets exceeding $1 billion.  Through its school grant program, Westerra has remained focused on supporting teachers by providing small grants to help teachers purchase materials and cover costs related to afterschool and other programs.  The credit union also provides free financial education programs and sponsors a range of community events.
