Rivermark not only strives to give back to our members but to also make a difference for the communities we serve. We have three main community development pillars: housing security, children’s health, and fighting hunger. We believe that the credit union model can act as an accelerator in addressing these issues. Rivermark offers paid volunteer time off to empower our employees to go out and make a difference in our community.
In addition to our volunteerism and charitable giving, we also have the Rivermark Community Fund. The purpose of the fund is to provide grants to local nonprofit organizations that fit our mission to create sustainable, affordable, fair, and equitable housing within the communities we serve.
Rivermark Community FundWe are a proud sponsor of the KGW Great Food Drive. This annual event collects food and cash donation for the Oregon Food Bank to then give to our communities in need. It is the largest food drive in Portland and benefits thousands of individuals by collecting multi-million pounds of food each year.
Learn MoreSince 1983, members have helped Rivermark raise more than $500,000 to help fund critical treatments, equipment, research, and charitable care for Doernbecher. Doernbecher is recognized as one of America's leading children's hospitals and offers the region’s broadest range of pediatric treatments.
Make a DonationRivermark employees regularly volunteer their time at the Oregon Food Bank helping pack and sort food for families in the area. The goal of the food bank is to eliminate hunger in Oregon by providing meals to families in need, as well as tackle the root causes of hunger in our region. We encourage others to volunteer or make a donation at OFB.

The Rivermark Community Fund has directed its 2021 grant to provide $20,000 in utility bill assistance through the Oregon Energy Fund (OEF). The donation will support households in Clackamas, Gilliam, Hood River, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Sherman, Wasco, Washington, Wheeler, and Yamhill counties. Amidst lingering financial challenges from the pandemic that range from global supply chain constraints and rising costs to staffing shortages and stagnant wages, many US residents face steep increases in the cost of heating their home and keeping the lights on this winter.
