CUAid Activated for Hurricane Victims

​The National Credit Union Foundation’s disaster relief fund needs your help to assist credit union victims’ families suffering from this catastrophic event. 

The National Credit Union Foundation has activated CUAid for Hurricane Helene victims. While CUAid is always open for donations, right now, our friends in the southeast portion of the U.S. need our support. At least 160 deaths in six states have been attributed to the storm that inflicted damage from Florida’s Gulf Coast to the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia.

Through CUAid, the Foundation can quickly respond when disaster strikes, harnessing the collective generosity of credit unions, individuals and other stakeholders through raising donations that support credit union employees and volunteers who suffer unrecoverable losses.

The Foundation collaborates with the state foundation/league partners within the geographic area where the disaster happens to assess the severity of the disaster, the number of employees and volunteers impacted, and dollar amount of losses incurred, the resources available locally, the amount of the request from the Foundation’s disaster relief fund for the specific disaster, and the distribution of funds to those impacted.  

100% of the funds received through CUAid will go to meet the needs of affected regions of the credit union movement. CUAid is a living example of Cooperative Principle 6: Cooperation amongst Cooperatives. CUAid is always open for donations, which will be used for disaster relief now and into the future.
