Opportunities to Celebrate 100 Years of Credit Unions

A century ago, Minnesotans came together with a bold idea: what if financial institutions were built not for profit, but for people and started our first credit union. That idea has stood the test of time—and here we are, stronger than ever, still rooted in cooperation, still growing, still serving. 

As we mark this occasion, we invite credit unions to gather, share and celebrate Minnesota’s credit union history.  The 100th anniversary of the first state-chartered credit union in Minnesota is an opportunity to demonstrate our bold, community-focused spirit to members and non-member alike.

Join us! The Minnesota Credit Union Network is pleased to offer resources and opportunities to engage in the celebration all year long:

Fundraise in Style: Support the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation and purchase a polo celebrating 100 Years of Credit Unions. FOR A LIMITED TIME!

Utilize the toolkit: The toolkit will give you everything you need to celebrate a century of community-driven financial services. From social media resources to event ideas, this toolkit is designed to help you share the legacy and impact of Minnesota’s Credit Unions. Let’s make this milestone unforgettable!

Bring High Yield to Your Events: Serve High Yield Pale Ale at your annual meeting, staff appreciation day, member celebration, Foundation event, or Chapter Meeting to bring awareness to the credit union difference. Use this form to request High Yield Pale Ale for your next event!

​With Broken Clock donating a portion of proceeds from High Yield sales to support the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation and financial literacy efforts statewide, that means every pint poured helps move our mission forward!
