Who is the National Credit Union Foundation?
Through the collaborative support and action of our supporters, we ignite, we inspire and we respond to the needs of the credit union movement.
Maurice Smith, CEO of Local Government Federal Credit Union & Civic Federal Credit UnionI am a big fan of the National Credit Union Foundation because of its singular purpose. The Foundation is the conscience of the movement. Its mission is a clarion salute for financial empowerment and human dignity. From my perspective, support for the Foundation is not an option. This is an obligation for all who subscribe to credit union ideals.
You can be a catalyst for change in the credit union movement.
A contribution to the Foundation makes a direct impact locally and has a national reach.
