What it reported doing in 2025
Golden One Credit Union awarded HIKE and Hit a grant for multiple community clean up and Fitness events that started in 2024 and completed in 2025. The Grant of $3500 was paid in 2025 for another Community Clean up Event that took place in early spring of 2026.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
