Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Supports De Novo Credit Unions​

The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation (MnCUF) provides resources to help the state's credit unions and communities prosper and thrive – serving as the philanthropic arm of the Minnesota Credit Union movement. Credit union history and principles are rooted in serving the underserved and cooperation among cooperatives. Based on the success of our collaborative efforts to support Arise Community Credit Union, the Foundation again invites credit unions, individuals, and other organizations to participate in further opportunities to grow the credit union movement with De Novo Credit Unions in Minnesota. 

 Contact Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Executive Director Andrea Molnau to learn more.

Minnesota De Novo Credit Unions

  • Arise Community Credit Union
  • Tribe Federal Credit Union
    • Capital Drive for Tribe FCU one-pager

Capital Contributions

MnCU Foundation is currently supporting a capital drive for Tribe Federal Credit Union. And due to a special donation, contributions will be matched dollar for dollar up to $150,000 if made by June 30, 2025.

De Novo Credit Union Mentorship Opportunities

The NCUA requires the de novo credit union to have a credit union mentor. In working with the NCUA, MnCUN has created a new collaborative coalition model that will meet this mentoring requirement.

Mentee De Novo credit unions will be required to complete a self-assessment of areas of need as they progress from the chartering to operational phases. We’ll use this to match with mentors based upon the availability of time, expertise, and resources. Our vision is to have mentors from various credit unions that we can call on for their desired area of expertise, along with credit unions able to assist with financial support, as de novo credit unions seek our assistance as they make the transition from chartering to the day-to-day operations phase. 

Areas of assistance typically involve (but not limited to):
  • Credit union procedures (account opening, lending, CU Accounting, ALM, etc.)
  • Compliance and Regulatory Insight
  • Small CU Best Practices (i.e., how to handle dual controls with a smaller office, human resources, etc.) 
  • Required Reporting 
  • Audits/Exams
  • Board and Committee Duties and Responsibilities 
  • Fundraising

​If you are interested in participating with the coalition, please complete the volunteer form to indicate areas of expertise and time available. Please note filling out the form does not require a commitment – we will follow up to confirm availability as the areas of assistance are requested.
