The National Credit Union Foundation said Thursday it is accepting donations through CUAid.coop to raise money for credit union people affected by Hurricane Maria.

"Based on news reports and limited communication with credit union staff in Puerto Rico, the situation is truly dire," said Foundation Communications Director Christopher Morris. "With CUAid now actively assisting credit union people affected by three large-scale disasters, we are now directing people to donate to the Foundation's General Disaster Relief Fund, which will allow us the flexibility to direct dollars to wherever they are needed most on an ongoing basis."

To distribute funds to credit union people in Puerto Rico, the Foundation will coordinate with the New York Credit Union Foundation. A number of credit unions on the island are members of the New York Credit Union Association through the partnership programs facilitated by the World Council of Credit Unions.
