A Message From the Executive Director

Autumn is a season of transition—a perfect opportunity to reflect on our financial goals and prepare for the months ahead. In this issue of the Friends of the Foundation newsletter, we've gathered resources designed to enhance your financial resilience: from navigating first-time homebuying and preparing financially for hurricane season, to budget-friendly autumn adventures, mid-year financial checkups, and balancing back-to-school expenses with your savings goals. Each article reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering communities through financial wellness.

As we look forward to the upcoming opportunities this quarter, I’d like to invite you to register for our next Friends of the Foundation Annual Meeting on October 22. This virtual meeting provides an opportunity for insightful discussions, networking, and informative sessions. 

Before we get any further through 2025, please take a look back with us by reviewing the 2024 Foundation Impact Report. Browse through the document today to learn about the progress we’ve made throughout the year in our mission to empower credit unions to impact their communities.

Your continued support helps the Cornerstone Foundation make meaningful impacts in communities throughout our region. If you're interested in learning more about membership benefits or how you can deepen your involvement, please contact our team or visit us online.

Thank you for your dedication to financial well-being and your belief in the credit union difference. Here’s to a season of thoughtful reflection, community connection, and financial strength.

Thank you for being a friend (of the Foundation),  

Courtney Moran, I-CUDE, CCUFC
