Greater Nevada Mortgage (GNM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Greater Nevada Credit Union, recently announced a donation of $33,700 to the Eddy House through its new Keys to Greater campaign. At the start of the campaign, GNM pledged a minimum contribution of $25,000 for 2021, according to an April 12 press release. Even though the campaign has already exceeded its initial goal after the first quarter of 2021, donations will continue to grow throughout the year as $100 of the revenue from every mortgage or refinance funded through GNM is being donated to its first Northern Nevada partner, Eddy House. “Our partnership with Greater Nevada is extremely important,” Diaz Dixon, CEO of the nonprofit Eddy House, said in a statement. “This is a program that is helping people in one socioeconomic bubble with their homes and giving benefit to individuals who don’t have a home. Keys to Greater gives the kids at Eddy House a greater sense of hope that there are people out there that care about them that don’t know them.” Per the release, it’s estimated that nearly 25% of Nevada’s homeless population – 1,285 people – are children and teens. Eddy House works to provide housing and services to homeless youth in Reno and Sparks. “There is no greater way to help someone than to make sure they have a roof over their head and a safe place to live,” Wally Murray, president and CEO of GNCU, said in a statement. “That’s why this is an important initiative to all of us at Greater Nevada Mortgage.”
