Our Mission
The National Credit Union Foundation is a catalyst to
improve people’s financial lives through credit unions.
Improving People's Financial Lives
IGNITE
The Foundation works to IGNITE understanding, passion and focus on member financial health by providing tools and resources so credit unions are recognized as national financial health leaders. We do so through:
INSPIRE
The Foundation helps credit union volunteers and professionals understand how to “keep purpose constant” in our movement through:
RESPOND
Through CUAid, the Foundation can RESPOND quickly when disasters hit by harnessing cooperative generosity to get credit union employees and volunteers back on their feet so they can serve members. We do so through:
The National Credit Union Foundation is able to leverage funds from many credit
unions to tackle issues and opportunities that are
difficult for any single credit union to tackle.
From financial literacy projects, grants, philosophy training, to
the Biz Kid$ television show, the Foundation
is often an incubator of ideas that are important to
our social mission and is one of the credit union movement’s
best examples of collaboration for the benefit of our
members and communities.
