Our Partners

Overview · Select Partner Groups (SPGS) · Community Based Organizations · Public Agencies · Consumer and Community Coalitions

Our partnership with public agencies, community-based organizations, consumer and community coalitions, trade associations, funders, investors, supporters, and fellow credit unions is a wonderful expression of the true spirit of cooperation that characterizes the Credit Union Movement. “Not for profit but for service” is the fundamental principle behind our credit union and explains the critical role that community development credit unions have played in the empowerment and improvement of underserved communities.
