Supporting persons with disabilities in enhancing their quality of life
ORI has a straightforward mission: Supporting persons with disabilities in enhancing their quality of life. Clearwater Credit Union applauds and supports their cause.
Working Together Towards Independence
ORI employs over 350 dedicated professionals who support clients in attaining independence in housing, employment, and as many aspects of their daily lives as possible. This means running residential placement programs, employment training and placement programs, teaching art, and organizing all manner of recreational opportunities.
A Diverse Clientele
ORI serves approximately 1,500 adult clients. The client population includes individuals with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, visual impairments, and disabled veterans.
The Need for Services is Increasing
Lending a Hand
Clearwater Credit Union puts its values to work to support ORI in this end goal. The credit union has partnered with ORI for nearly 25 years and has provided a wide range of products, services, and support. Finance has been provided for multiple facility improvements, including the transition of a fleet of vehicles from lease contracts to a more cost-effective ownership status.
The team at Clearwater is always there to help and be a true community partner

Making a Difference Together
The day-to-day credit needs of ORI staff are met by way of credit union credit card lines. And the partnership goes well beyond lending. ORI client artwork appears in our branches, our team members volunteer at ORI events, and we regularly direct philanthropy support to help meet fund-raising goals.
