Donation Criteria and Procedures
In an ongoing demonstration of the credit union philosophy “people helping people,” TEXAR Federal Credit
Union supports organizations in the communities where our members work and live. To request a donation
from TEXAR, please review the following donation criteria and procedures below:
GENERAL CONTRIBUTION GUIDELINES:
For a donation to be considered:
A donation request form must be completed.
•
The organization making the request must be a local civic, charitable or academic organization. A local
•
organization will have its membership and operation within TEXAR’s service area.
Donations must go to benefit residents of TEXAR’s service area (Bowie County, Cass County, Miller
•
County and portions of Red River County).
The organization requesting the donation must employ ethical methods of publicity, promotion and
•
solicitation of funds.
Preferably the donation will provide a benefit to TEXAR through positive publicity and community
•
goodwill.
Requests from TEXAR members will be given priority over requests by nonmembers.
TEXAR may make donations of money, property, or service.
These requests will not be considered:
Because of the spiritual diversity of our membership, it is very difficult to contribute equitably to
•
religious organizations, therefore requests should not be submitted by religious organizations.
Organizations or causes that do not impact TEXAR’s service area.
•
Donations to benefit a single family’s cause or an individual’s cause, such as trips, beauty pageants, and
•
walk-a-thons.
All copy and artwork are to be approved by TEXAR prior to publication.
Donations must go to benefit a nonprofit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax exemption status. However, requests
from schools (private or public) or school-affiliated organizations like a PTA will be considered.
