ORNL FCU 75 Years

022

2018-2

As it celebrated its seventieth anniversary in 2018, ORNL Federal Credit Union exceeded $2 billion in assets thanks to an ever-growing membership and a strong East Tennessee economy.

Above: In 2018, ORNL FCU kicked off its Community Art and Mural Program, which provided local artists and school art programs the opportunity to showcase their creativity by painting a large structure visible from a main access road in Oak Ridge. The artwork is updated bi-annually and is on display on the campus of ORNL FCU’s main headquarters located at 221 South Rutgers Avenue. To commemorate seventy years of service, the credit union recognized nonprofit organizations and their important work in the community. Members nominated over 150 nonprofit organizations to receive one of seven $10,000 grants through a $70,000 Community Giveback and Investment campaign. Awards went to the Blossom Center for Childhood Excellence, Knoxville Dream Center, Knoxville Pays it Forward, Sertoma Center, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, Sunshine Ambassadors, and Youth Outreach STEM.
