Each year, we join our clients in celebrating International Credit Union Day. We’re grateful for their business and for the many ways they contribute to the welfare of our communities.

This year’s theme of Inspiring Hope for a Global Community beautifully captures the spirit of the credit union industry, most notably during this global pandemic. With so many unknowns touching different aspects of our lives, credit unions offer financial stability and a place where members are known. This is the sort of positivity that can spark a brighter future.

Here are just a few ways our Credit Union clients are making a difference in their communities.

Wings Financial Credit Union partners with Urban Ventures to assist with immediate food needs and relief for small businesses impacted by the recent unrest in Minneapolis. Wings has a long-term commitment to education, strengthening families, and building a healthy community.

Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union was founded by educators, and they are committed to helping them succeed in the classroom. Each year MSGCU offers Classroom Cash Grants to teachers to enhance their students’ learning experience through innovative classroom projects.

Notre Dame Federal Credit Union partners with a wide variety schools, parishes, and other non-profit organizations throughout the country, such as Clothe A Child that provides clothing and shoes for under resourced children and infants.
