See how we're making an impact.

BECU - Not for Profit, All for Spokane

When it comes to supporting and investing in Spokane, BECU puts our money where our mouth is, then our hearts spring into action.

In 2022 alone, we've supported the greater Spokane community by providing more than $11,900 for community reputation programs and $20,525 in sponsorships – and it doesn't stop there. The BECU Foundation and Philanthropy have awarded $179,350 in grants to the Spokane community.

Whether we're hosting food drives, local sporting events or seasonal entertainment initiatives, we're there with our full hearts celebrating and strengthening all that makes Spokane great.
