A year after their leagues merged, the Oregon and Washington credit union foundations will become the Northwest Credit Union Foundation as of Jan. 1.
The foundation merger approved Oct. 14 move follows the creation of the Northwest Credit Union Association last Jan. 1. The NWCUA held its first annual meeting as a combined entity in September.
Combining the resources of the two foundations will better enable the new entity to support “broader community outreach endeavors, small credit union development grants, and professional development scholarships,” the foundations said in a statement.
