Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Launches New DEI Grant Opportunity

​The Minnesota Credit Union Foundation is pleased announce the opening of a new grant opportunity. The DEI Grant is intended to support credit unions’ implementation of projects that support Diversity, Equity and Financial Inclusion.

​The application period is open so that credit unions may apply for funding at any time throughout the year. The Foundation Board will act on applications at their regularly scheduled Board meetings.

DEI initiatives may include (but not limited to) projects in the following areas:

• Partnering with Coopera or other organization for demographic analysis of membership
• CDFI certification support from Inclusiv or other organization
• Internal DEI credit union staff training
• Efforts to reach and/or serve underserved populations in community

“The Foundation is committed to helping the state’s credit unions and communities prosper and thrive,” said Andrea Molnau, Executive Director. “This new grant opportunity is an additional way we can support credit unions in the important work of financial inclusion.”
