In 1996, Envision Financial (then Delta Credit Union) had a vision to create a sustainable source of community funding. To make this dream a reality, the Credit Union established a charitable foundation with an initial donation of $200,000 toward an endowment.

This endowment is now known as the Envision Financial Community Endowment and is housed with the First West Foundation. Annual donations from the Credit Union as well as donations from our members have grown this fund to over $15.2 million.

The Envision Financial Community Endowment has helped make a variety of community dreams a reality and we have proudly invested over $5.1 million into our communities since the endowment's inception.

In addition to the Envision Financial Community Endowment, the First West Foundation also manages a number of other endowment, donor and agency funds including:

• First West Credit Union Leaders Fund
• Valley First Community Endowment
• Island Savings Community Endowment
• Enderby & District Financial Community Endowment
• Envision-Region Employees' Endowment
