The Numerica Charitable Fund is a member-funded initiative supporting local nonprofits. Members pay a small fee to participate in Skip a Pay, a program available on certain Numerica loans. Those fees build the annual Charitable Fund, which provides grants to nonprofits serving vulnerable youth and families in our community.
This Charitable Fund letters of intent process is closed for 2024.
