HAPO Community Credit Union and Windermere Real Estate Tri-Cities have formed the HAPO /Windermere Tri-Cities Community Enrichment Foundation.

Dave Schulz, president and CEO of HAPO, Dave Retter, owner and managing broker of Windermere, and key people from both businesses will sit on the foundation board. Their plan is to make donations to organizations in the Tri-Cities, which will increase the educational and health of the community.

The foundation's first donation was $50,000 toward Columbia Basin College's new planetarium project.
