Clearview Federal Credit Union in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, has launched a charitable foundation to address critical needs in the communities it serves.

The $2 billion-asset credit union said the Clearview Foundation will provide grants of up to $5,000 to support impactful programs that uplift communities and help build a brighter future.

“Continuing on Clearview Federal Credit Union’s long-standing commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve, this builds on the important work we’ve already been doing through Clearview Cares,” said Erin Forrester, the credit union’s AVP of public relations and community engagement, in a LinkedIn post.

Forrester will serve as the Foundation’s president.

Starting this month, the Clearview Foundation will begin accepting applications to fund initiatives across various sectors including the following:

• Education: Funding projects that enhance educational opportunities and access.
• Housing: Supporting housing needs and promoting affordable, stable housing solutions
• Healthcare: Improving access to quality healthcare services and advancing community health.
• Human Services: Supporting initiatives that address basic human needs and promote social well-being.

Clearview said it is accepting applications for the grant programs now through May 30, 2025.

“The mission is to empower communities, foster innovation, and create opportunities for lasting improvements. We believe in supporting ideas that inspire growth and make a tangible difference for individuals and their communities,” the organization said.

The largest credit union based in Western Pennsylvania, Clearview FCU has nearly 128,000 members. The institution earned $18.1 million in 2024, a 36% increase compared to a year earlier, according to call report data from the National Credit Union Administration.

The credit union has seen strong growth in recent years both organically and through mergers.

Case in point: Members of $98 million-asset Beaver Valley Federal Credit Union recently voted in favor of a merger with Clearview that will take effect on June 1.

“Continuing on Clearview Federal Credit Union’s long-standing commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve, this builds on the important work we’ve already been doing through Clearview Cares.”
