We’re so grateful for Numerica’s kindness and can’t wait to see the positive impact we’ll make together.” 

The Numerica Charitable Fund is funded by Numerica members through Skip a Pay, a voluntary program available on some loans. Members are allowed to bypass a monthly loan payment once every six months for a $30 fee, which is contributed to the fund to support community nonprofits.
