In 2009, SWBC contributed 10% of its before-tax income to non-profit organizations.

To be eligible for the award, companies must be CUES Supplier members for at least one year. Nominees are judged on their contributions and achievements in the credit union industry, the benefits of their product or service to the movement and their role in the community.
