Project Spotlight

Project Spotlight is our community support program designed to discover worthwhile projects in each area that Beacon serves. Our hope is to be able to support community projects both large and small, and bring awareness to the many good things happening in our communities every day.

  • Nominations and voting are closed until 2024.

How does it work?

Project Spotlight is a charitable giving campaign that allows you to nominate local charities, non-for-profits and community projects for the potential to earn funding from Beacon Credit Union. First we ask community members to submit their local projects and organizations that they feel deserve support. Then we open up the voting process and have each community vote to support their favorite organization. With your help and participation, we’ll be providing donations to charitable organizations and projects in our communities in Indiana! ($1,750 split between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each of our 13 communities in which we have a full-service retail location).
