Employee Fundraising

A powerful force for good

PenAir has been a proud Community Partner since 1936. 

Our Employee Fundraising Program is 50% employee-driven donations + 50% matching funds born from the dedication and passion for enhancing the lives of those in the communities where we live, work and serve.

We Care About the Things That You Care About

By taking care of each other, we keep our communities strong. Here are some of the ways our employees give back.

Jeans for Communerosity® (J4C)

Jeans for Communerosity® (J4C) is our primary employee-driven fundraising effort gifting $50,000 in donations among selected nonprofits.

Random Acts of Communerosity® (RAC)

Random Acts of Communerosity are smaller donations of a more personal need, ranging anywhere from school supplies, Christmas gifts, and a contribution toward cancer treatments.

‘I Wear Because I Care’

Celebrate #NationalVolunteerWeek with our annual ‘I Wear Because I Care’ campaign. We wear jeans all week to raise awareness for five addition charities.

Volunteer Hours

Beyond the financial contribution, PenAir’s 354 employees pledge to serve community organizations through volunteer opportunities supporting their missions.

How It Works

Webster’s Dictionary defines “Communerosity®” as… just kidding. To Webster, Communerosity is not a word. But to us, it’s our most important value. We define it as a positive force for good, where community and generosity fuse into something unshakable.

Need a little more information?

Maybe you’ll find what you’re looking for here.

Jeans for Communerosity® (J4C) is an employee-driven fundraising effort to give back to those in need in our community. Each year, our employees nominate local, non-profit organizations to be voted on as recipients of this philanthropic program. Funds are raised through payroll deductions and Jeans for Communerosity days. The funds raised by the employees are matched by PenAir Credit Union and divided equally among the voted charities for the year.

Our best advice would be to engage with our staff through volunteerism. If they support your cause, then the relationship will grow.
