Financial Education Program Grants Available – Applications Open Year-Round

3/23/2021

 
MnCUF Financial Education Grants support credit unions’ implementation of financial education projects in their credit union and communities. The application period is open so that credit unions may apply for funding at any time throughout the year.

MidMinnesota Federal Credit Union recently received a grant for their financial education videos series in partnership with Bridges, a local community resource for schools. As in person classroom presentations ceased with the pandemic, MMFCU and Bridges partnered to film short Financial Education videos for teachers to embed in their online learning or show in class. 

SouthPoint Financial Credit Union also recently received a grant to work with local schools in their branch areas to provide the interactive immersive experience Mad City Money reality fair. 

Financial Education Grant Applications are evaluated by the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Board of Directors and funding is based on factors such as credit union value, community impact, collaboration, and creativity. Financial education initiatives may include projects in the following areas:
  • Community financial capability outreach programs
  • Financial education curriculum
  • Financial experiential learning programs – such as reality fairs, in-school branches, etc.

​For more information and to apply, visit mncun.org/apply-for-a-grant.

Minnesota Credit Union Staff Certified as Data Transformation Specialists

3/17/2021

 
Picture
In February, twelve staff from Minnesota Credit Union Network-affiliated credit unions became Certified Data Transformation Specialists as a part of a newly launched MnCUN Data Education Program. The newly certified staff represent eleven credit unions across the state.
​
Facilitated by Anne Legg, Founder & CEO of Thrive Strategic Services, the new data analytics education series offered tools and a forum for knowledge exchange for stakeholders to fill knowledge gaps and launch or continue their data journey with the assets they have at their credit union. Topics and assignments included a current data assessment, enterprise data vision, member-centric use cases, building data maturity and adopting a data culture within credit unions. Participants were asked to complete a data analytics roadmap to complete the certification.

​Congratulations to the following credit union staff:
Heather Lorenz, Business Analyst | Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union
Nicole Hesley, Digital Marketing Coordinator | Anoka Hennepin Credit Union
April Larson, Data & Research Analyst | Centricity Credit Union
Rebecca Tricker, Marketing Assistant | City & County Credit Union
Dustin Finlayson, Data Analyst | Members Cooperative Credit Union
Christopher Goebel, Vice President, Finance | Minnco Credit Union
Nicholas Mathiowetz, President/CEO | NorthRidge Community Credit Union
Louis Conticchio, Data Solutions Analyst | Novation Credit Union
Dixon Irwin, Data Specialist | Red Wing Credit Union
Andrew Baldwin, Business Intelligence Analyst | Royal Credit Union

Minnesota Credit Unions Prevail in Fundraising Challenge

3/17/2021

 
As part of the activities built around CUNA’s Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC), MnCUN wrapped a successful week of fundraising for CUNA’s political action committee, CULAC.

MnCUN members contributed nearly $25,000, second only to California for the highest fundraising total of all other states. The high total also ensures that MnCUN prevails in an interstate competition we had undertaken with the Wisconsin Credit union League, raising nearly three times as much money as our friendly neighbor rivals.
​
“Our fundraising success during the GAC is only possible because of our amazing members that contribute because they understand the importance of supporting credit union champions running for Congress,” said MnCUN Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer Mara Humphrey. “On behalf of everyone at MnCUN and CUNA, I want to thank everyone that is willing to contribute to our fundraising efforts.”
