Making a Difference with Donations

General Information
With changes in the economic climate, regulation, and technology, Michigan's credit unions need continuing education to ensure excellence. The foundation provides funds to SAS CUs and other credit unions with limited resources so they can attend educational events and get needed training. With the support of members, the Michigan Credit Union Foundation (MCUF) continues to ensure that education is provided to all Michigan credit unions.

With your help the MCUF can provide this assistance to the many smaller credit unions and credit unions with limited resources in Michigan who cannot afford the increasing expense of necessary on-going education and training. By donating to the MCUF, you can help guarantee the aid necessary for those credit unions.
