Dr. Chuck Showell
Trustee & WPCU Board of Directors
“I feel privileged to be a part of the Sunshine Community Fund. As a former educator I am aware of the importance of promoting financial wellbeing especially among our younger generations. To that end, I am hopeful as a trustee of the Sunshine Community Fund that I can contribute my knowledge and experience in helping to make a positive impact in the communities we serve.”
Diane Farrell

“For many years I was a single mother, and in addition to balancing the needs (and logistics!) of my children, I was also deeply concerned for our financial stability. The work of the WPCU Sunshine Community Fund to help prepare its members for the future, and to educate the community, is critical to support the overall economic health and vitality of our region. I am proud to play what part I can to contribute to this important work.”
In addition to being overseen by the Board of Trustees, the day-to-day operation of the Sunshine Community Fund is managed by:
Ivy Glover
Interim Executive Director & WPCU Director, Community Impact & Development
Amber Rose Brown
WPCU Development Director, Sunshine Community Fund
“Making an impact in our community is at the heart of WPCU. The Sunshine Community Fund is our expression of that commitment. My role is to actively grow our ability to meet the needs of our community through grants, partnerships, donor relationships, and other financial support. Together, we will continue to change lives across our region!”
Donna McCoy
Community Engagement & Donor Relations Associate
“It's truly uplifting to see the incredible progress achieved by nonprofits supported by the WPCU Sunshine Community Fund. I feel incredibly privileged to have a role where I get to collaborate with employees, nonprofit partners and help create opportunities that directly benefit our community. Through outreach efforts and InspiRAYtion Grants, we're dedicated to building stronger, more resilient communities together.”
InspiRAYtion Committee
The funds that support local nonprofits come from the WPCU®, myCUmortgage®, and CoverPoint® Insurance employees who help develop and bring to life engaging activities to raise funds each year. It is the commitment of the employees to dig deep into their own pockets for a collective lift and show of support for the community.
The Sunshine Community Fund’s InspiRAYtion Committee helps raise the funds and helps assure the nonprofits selected represent the voices of the employees across the organization.
- “I felt called to join the Sunshine Community Fund committee because I’m passionate about serving the underserved. The core of WPCU’s mission is to take care of people. It really resonates with me that we should carry that value not just within credit union walls, but to our entire community.
- "Outreach to our communities is an integral part of what makes WPCU the best financial institution our members have ever experienced. Sunshine Community Fund recipients’ impact so many of our members within the communities that we serve, and I’m so thrilled to be part of the committee that makes this happen!"
- “Being part of the Sunshine Community Fund InspiRAYtion Committee warms my heart to be a part of an organization and mission that is bigger than myself. Giving back to our communities is one of the reasons I enjoy working at WPCU.”
