MADISON, Wis. — Attendees at CUNA Mutual Group's Discovery Conference donated $13,500 to the National Credit Union Foundation to help provide relief and recovery to credit unions, staff and volunteers impacted by the recent flooding.
"These disaster relief donations come at a most critical time," observed NCUF Executive Director Steve Delfin. "Given all the recent disasters–floods, wildfires, and tornadoes in many parts of the country–the National Credit Union Foundation, state foundations and leagues have received far more grant applications than we can fund. We are very grateful to CUNA Mutual Group for dedicating the Discovery Conference's silent auction to helping to rebuild the NCUF Disaster Relief Fund."
NCUF disaster relief grants are used to help credit union employees through critical emergencies, provide for longer-term recovery, help restore credit unions' operations, and assist credit union members.

Other items donated to the silent auction included Brett Favre memorabilia, electronic goods, vacations and a variety of items contributed by international credit unions in attendance, CUNA Mutual said.
