Moline, IL — January 13, 2026

Vibrant Credit Union announced the official launch of the Be The Good Foundation, a philanthropic initiative designed to power more kindness, more opportunity, and more “good stuff” in communities across the Midwest.

For years, Vibrant has believed that doing good shouldn’t be a side project — it should be part of who we are. The Be The Good Foundation brings that belief to life, supporting organizations that are building brighter futures through financial literacy, youth development, and community enrichment.

“Good doesn’t happen by accident,” said Tiffany Haedt, President of the Be The Good Foundation. “It happens when people roll up their sleeves, show up for each other, and decide that doing the right thing is worth the effort. This foundation lets us invest in the people and nonprofits already making that kind of magic happen.”

The Foundation’s focus areas reflect Vibrant’s long-standing belief that thriving communities start with strong building blocks:

• Financial Literacy: Because understanding money is a superpower everyone deserves.

• Youth Development: Preparing the next generation of leaders, creators, helpers, and big thinkers.

• Community Enrichment: Supporting programs that make our neighborhoods feel safer, healthier, and more connected.

Guided by values like optimism, integrity, joy, and compassion, the Foundation chooses projects that don’t just sound good on paper — they make a real difference.

“We’re here for the changemakers,” said Megan Anderson, Vice President. “The people who get up every day and do the work. If we can fuel that, we’ll gladly bring the spark.”

The Foundation is led by a volunteer Board of Directors — Matt McCombs, Amy Henderson, Marsha Wolff, Nick Tarpein, and Trista Beise — who believe in transparency, responsibility, and the power of small actions that become big outcomes.

Nonprofits can now submit grant proposals. Application materials, eligibility details, and FAQs are available at: VibrantCreditUnion.org/BeTheGood

“Communities thrive when people lift each other up,” said Marsha Wolff, Secretary/Treasurer. “The Be The Good Foundation is here to help that lift go farther.”
