Biz Kid$

REAL Solutions

Promotes credit unions as a viable, and sustainable, choice for millions of low-wealth and modest income consumers.

Development Education (DE)

Linking credit unions’ past and present, the Development Education (DE) Program brings renewed relevance to credit unions’ seven cooperative principles and the philosophy of “People Helping People.”

Social Impact Management

The Social Impact Management Institute is a unique leadership training experience that connects credit unions to learn from each other’s success and from global leaders who have created benefits for their communities through proactive social responsibility.

CU AID

CU Aid is the first national online giving center for credit unions. All cuaid.coop contributions are directed to the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) Disaster Relief Fund. Credit union organizations are encouraged to link to cuaid.coop to offer employees and members a donation option to help fellow credit union employees and members in the disaster area. Once credit unions publicize this to their employees and members, when the next disaster strikes:

• More credit union employees and members will be aware that they can contribute to help fellow employees and members.
• More disaster relief contributions will remain in the credit union system.
• Most important, cash is channeled to the disaster area more quickly.
