We’ll Prove It.
We don’t just have goals and mission statements – we’ll also show you how we follow through. Here are some examples of what we mean when we say Affinity Plus is about people, not profit.
We’re constantly evaluating how we do business in order to find what’s best for our members and our employees. That means plenty of room for innovation and evolution, allowing for more highly skilled jobs in a dynamic workplace.
And we’re all about balance: We love our jobs, but we know there’s more to our employees’ lives than work. We believe employees perform the best when they’re happy, and the better they do their jobs, the happier our membership gets.

Our values are built into everything we do at Affinity Plus, and we look for employees who believe in them, too.

The Gift of Hope
Being part of a community means celebrating the good and enduring the bad together, getting each other through the hard times and sharing joy when we succeed.
The winter of 2020 was a particularly tough one, with COVID-19 shutting down businesses and putting pressure on our economies all across Minnesota. But difficult times make hope shine out the brightest.
With the pandemic shutdowns threatening livelihoods in Bemidji, 11 local businesses, including Affinity Plus, banded together with the Bemidji Chamber of Commerce to create the Gift of Hope fund. They wanted to find a way not only to support the bottom line of Bemidji businesses, but also to show local business owners and community members that they aren’t alone.
So they started the Gift of Hope fund, which allowed folks to purchase $50 gift cards to a number of local businesses, and after that purchase, the Gift of Hope fund provided an additional $20 gift card to provide extra value. And the community responded, with 1,900 gift cards purchased and $212,000 raised and invested back into the community.
In total, the Gift of Hope effort helped support 58 businesses and more than 85 families in Bemidji through a winter of uncertainty, not only with money but also with the knowledge that their town cares about them.
And that’s what investing in a community is all about.
