Free Resources to Help CUs Celebrate Our Nation's 250 Anniversary

​As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, credit unions have access to free marketing resources to help commemorate this historic milestone. 

As our nation prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States on July 4, 2026, credit unions have a unique opportunity to join communities across the country in celebrating this historic milestone.

To support credit unions in recognizing America’s Semiquincentennial, a collection of complimentary marketing resources has been made available for credit unions to use in engaging members, promoting community pride, and highlighting the credit union difference.

These ready-to-use materials are designed to help marketers save time while providing professional, relevant content that can be incorporated into websites, social media channels, newsletters, branch displays, and other member communications. The resources celebrate our nation’s history, values, and spirit of cooperation, principles that closely align with the credit union movement’s longstanding commitment to people helping people.

In addition to honoring our country’s 250-year journey, 2026 also marks the 92nd anniversary of the Federal Credit Union Act, signed into law on June 26, 1934. Together, these milestones provide an opportunity to reflect on the important role credit unions have played in strengthening financial well-being, supporting local communities, and expanding access to affordable financial services for generations of Americans.

Dakota credit unions are encouraged to take advantage of these free resources and incorporate them into their marketing and member engagement efforts throughout the year.
