Every credit union has a special obligation to give back to the community it serves.  As a healthcare credit union, Montana Health feels that obligation takes on a more significant meaning.  The exceptional people that we serve are saving lives every day, either directly or through support roles — the least we can do is find a way to give back to the organizations they work at to help them in their good work.

Below is a list of some of the events/organizations the credit union is currently or has recently sponsored:

• “Hiding in Plain Sight” Sponsor  A film detailing the hidden epidemic of mental health issues in children.  The credit union helped sponsor a free screening of the film at the Alberta Bair Theater.
• St. John’s CNA Scholarship  The Credit Union provides scholarships for the St. John’s CNA training program.  To quote one of the participants:
  
• • “I deeply appreciate the scholarship award for my Certified Nursing Assistant class.  Your thoughtfulness has assisted me greatly in my time of need.  I am looking at a career change and this scholarship will help get me on that path”.
• RiverStone Health Foundation Hospice Golf Tournament – Montana Health FCU sponsors the beverage cart, and fields a men’s team and women’s team for the RiverStone Health Foundation Hospice Golf Tournament.  The credit union also participates on the tournament committee.
• Rubber Duck Regatta  A benefit for Big Sky Senior Services in conjunction with the Midland Empire Chapter of Credit Unions
• Shodair Children’s Hospital  MHFCU is part of the CU4Kids committee through the Montana Credit Union Network.  The committee is dedicated to providing assistance to the Shodair Children’s Hospital in Helena.
