To celebrate this milestone, Dow Credit Union is inviting community members to visit the Saginaw branch at 5420 Gratiot Rd. throughout the month of March to nominate a nonprofit headquartered in Saginaw County for a chance to receive a $1,000 community donation.

To participate, stop by the branch during normal business hours and complete a brief Official Nomination Form that includes the nominator’s name and contact information, the name of the nonprofit, and a short description—100 words or fewer—explaining why the organization is deserving of the donation.

To ensure fairness, each person may submit only one nomination. All nominations will be reviewed by a Community Support Selection Committee, and the selected nonprofit will be announced on Wednesday, April 15. All entries must be submitted on the Official Nomination Form in person at the Saginaw branch by close of business on Tuesday, March 31 at 5 p.m. Nonprofits may operate in other counties or have a broader impact, but must be headquartered in Saginaw County to qualify.

“Our Saginaw Branch has quickly become a vital hub for the community,” said Michael Goad, President/CEO of Dow Credit Union. “Reaching our 1,000th member is more than a number—it’s a reflection of the trust and relationships we’ve built. Each member’s success is our success, and we’re proud to provide the tools, resources, and services that help our members thrive and strengthen the Saginaw community.”

Since opening, the Saginaw Branch has played an integral role in strengthening Dow Credit Union’s presence throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region. Deposits at the branch exceed $51.7 million, contributing to the credit union’s $2.6 billion asset base. The branch underscores its value as both a trusted financial partner and a community resource, broadening its local impact through financial education programs, university partnerships, nonprofit initiatives, and support for home repair grants. 

This growth aligns with a landmark year for Dow Credit Union overall. Within the last year, the organization has earned multiple national recognitions for deposit products, expanded statewide membership to all Michiganders, eliminated NSF fees, launched business accounts, and introduced Preferred Checking.

The credit union also returned over $18 million to members through its 2025 member giveback.

Their commitment to supporting financial wellness, local initiatives, and community partnerships makes a real difference in Saginaw, and we’re proud to celebrate this milestone with them.”
