Cornerstone Foundation

Credit Union Development

We want credit unions and credit union employees to succeed. That's why the Foundation supports grants for continuous education for employees and volunteers in the credit union movement and hosts a DE Society. The Foundation also offers credit unions creative opportunities to expand membership and support their local community through Friends of the Foundation and Donor Advised Funds. Consider the Foundation an extra boost for your credit union's dreams. Explore our development opportunities below or reach out to learn more. 

Grants

The Foundation offers grants and scholarships for Professional Development, SCMS, Community Development, Chapters, and Disaster Relief.

Principles & Philosophy Workshop

At this insightful, eye-opening workshop, learn how to put credit union foundational concepts to work in everyday operations, helping you to better meet the needs of your members while solidifying the unique role of financial cooperatives in the market.

Cornerstone DE Society

The CSCUDE Society fosters engagement among anyone who has successfully earned the Credit Union Development Educator (CUDE) designation in the Cornerstone Region.

Donor Advised Funds

A Cornerstone Foundation Donor Advised Fund may help your credit union navigate the complex legal and accounting requirements as you start up a charitable organization.
