Stride Forward Fund
The Stride Forward Fund: Moving Communities Ahead, Together.
Stride Credit Union has a proud history of supporting the people, places, and projects that make our rural Manitoba communities thrive. From sponsoring youth sports and music festivals to investing in long-term infrastructure like Stride Place. We have always believed in building strong, resilient communities from the ground up.
The Stride Forward Fund is the next step in that commitment. This annual grant program is designed to provide meaningful financial support to organizations and grassroots initiatives that drive social, environmental, and economic progress in the regions we serve.
Each community has unique goals and challenges. That’s why the Stride Forward Fund is built to be flexible, inclusive, and focused on impact. Whether you're revitalizing a community space, launching a sustainability initiative, or creating opportunities for connection and growth, we’re here to help you stride forward.
