HOW TO GIVE
The Ohio Credit Union Foundation’s grantmaking efforts are funded entirely through the generosity and support of the Ohio Credit Union Movement. Funding sources include: contributions from credit unions, business partners, chapters, and individuals; investments in the National Credit Union Foundation Community Investment Fund (CIF); and special event fundraisers.

 

 

►

Credit unions (approximately 30 – 35% of annual funding comes from credit union contributions)

 

►

Community Investment Fund (CIF) dividends (approximately 60% of annual funding comes from credit unions’ investment in the CIF). A like amount of dividends benefits the National Credit Union Foundation.

 

►

Individuals, special events, business partners (approximately 5-8% of annual funding)




CONTRIBUTE TO OCUF
 The recommended donation for a credit union, as determined by the OCUF Trustees, is calculated  at a rate of $15/$1 million in assets. Contribution checks should be made payable to the "Ohio Credit Union Foundation." Individuals can also contribute to the OCUF. Contributions to OCUF are tax deductible.

COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND

The Community Investment Fund (CIF) is a social investment option that benefits your credit union, the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF), and the Ohio Credit Union Foundation (OCUF). It's simple: Your credit union invests in a designated CIF vehicle through Corporate One Federal Credit Union.

 

You can choose from a 3-year or 5-year fixed-rate CD, a 90-day notice account, or any number of available structured products. Dividends are paid directly to your credit union, while up to 2% of the CIF investment dividends are split evenly between the NCUF and the OCUF. We urge your credit union to consider a CIF investment to help support educational and outreach initiatives that promote financial independence through credit unions.

 

Ohio is currently ranked 7th in the nation for CIF investments, with 41 of the state’s credit unions participating. In 2007, CIF dividends contributed more than $145,000 to the Foundation, and accounted for nearly 60% of its revenue. To make a CIF investment, call Corporate One Federal Credit Union’s Member Services Department at (866) 692-6771. Click here for more information.
