Ent's YES program, established in 2000, provides grants to organizations benefiting youth in the community. Since its inception, the program has provided total grants of more than $400,000.
Thirteen local non-profit organizations applied for the 2009 Pueblo YES grants. Applications were evaluated by a panel of volunteer Ent employees on their general benefit to the community, potential ability to use the Ent grant to obtain additional funds and degree of current community support, among other criteria.
According to James Moore, senior vice president of Ent, "Our mission as a credit union is not only to provide financial products and services to our members but also to support the human needs of the community. We are proud that our YES grants help support those that provide vital services to our youth."
