RTN GoodWorks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public charitable foundation that fosters financial wellness, and promotes financial literacy and community involvement. Founded in 2011, the RTN GoodWorks Foundation is a natural outgrowth of the Credit Union’s commitment to community activities and financial literacy as a key component of financial health efforts.
Giving Tuesday 2019
With community involvement a core value at RTN, every day is a giving day.
In honor of Giving Tuesday 2019, the RTN GoodWorks Foundation made a $500 donation to the Family Health Center of Worcester’s fundraising campaign called Help Us Build a Clinic at the Mustard Seed to Care for People Experiencing Homelessness. This project is raising funds to build out space for increased medical care for the homeless in Worcester.
