The Financial Capability Network is made up of credit union professionals that share a passion for empowering others to improve their financial well-being.
Financial Capability Grants
To adequately prepare our youth for adulthood and keep adults on top of their finances, we must empower them with the tools, information, and skills necessary to save and invest in their future. The Foundation provides grants and scholarships for programs that promote or implement financial education in schools, community-based organizations, and through credit unions.

Non-profit organizations that strive to improve the financial well-being needs in their community must have a credit union partner engaged in the grant request initiative, and the credit union must apply for the Financial Capability grant on behalf of the partnership. Credit unions that have applied for a Credit Union Development grant may also apply for a Financial Capability grant.
