The National Credit Union Foundation (the Foundation) is the United States credit union movement’s primary national charitable fundraising organization for credit union development. The Foundation is an affiliate of the Credit Union National Association (CUNA) and is located in CUNA's offices in Madison, Wisconsin as well as in Washington, DC. In 2015, the Foundation unveiled a new logo, shorthand ("the Foundation" in place of "NCUF") and website.〔Lisa McCue, (National CU Foundation's change of flight " ), ''CUNA News Now'', January 16, 2015〕 The National Credit Union Foundation engages in a variety of activities to help credit unions create greater access to affordable financial services, provide widespread financial education, and empower more consumers to save, build assets, and own homes. In its 30+ years, the Foundation has given more than $25 million in grants in support of its mission to improve people's financial lives through credit unions. In times of disaster, the Foundation raises and distributes funds to aid credit unions, employees, volunteers and members in the affected region through its National Credit Union Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. For example, the Foundation raised over $3.5 million in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a record for the credit union system. For disaster relief fundraising for the credit union system, the Foundation developed (CU Aid ), the credit union movement's first online disaster relief fundraising system. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors composed of executives from the credit union movement as well as an at-large representative. ==Community Investment Fund== The Community Investment Fund is a partnership between the National Credit Union Foundation and state credit union leagues and foundations. The Community Investment Fund is the Foundaiton's primary funding mechanism. Credit unions invest in a Community Investment Fund account with either the National Cooperative Bank, MEMBERS Trust Company, or a designated corporate credit union. The return on the investment is split between the credit union, the Foundation, and the investing state's credit union league or foundation. Proceeds from the fund are then used to fund a variety of the National Credit Union Foundation's national programs as well as state credit union league and foundation development initiatives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Credit Union Foundation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
