Nominations are taken from each community in which Beacon Credit Union operates a full-service member center. The community then votes to determine which charitable organizations receives funding. In 2021, Beacon awarded three winners in each of its communities.

Since 1931, Beacon Credit Union has provided financial services responsive to the needs of its member-owners. Serving 50 Indiana counties, Beacon consists of over 46,000 members and manages assets of $1.4 billion.
