Our Mission Statement
The Credit Union Foundation of Colorado and Wyoming exists to promote financial choice and independence
to consumers in the region through credit unions.
Our Vision Statement
The Credit Union Foundation of Colorado and Wyoming’s vision is that all consumers are financially savvy
and understand the value of credit unions.
Our History
Established in 1982 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the Foundation was created to support
professional development through scholarships to credit union volunteers, management and staff. Today,
our programs have grown to include grants that assist credit unions in providing affordable financial
services, credit union development and public financial education. In 2006, we became the Credit Union
Foundation of Colorado and Wyoming and now maintain a segregated fund for the specific purpose of
promoting charitable work through Wyoming credit unions.
Since inception, we have disbursed more than $850,000 to non-profit organizations, credit unions, credit
union personnel and credit union members in the furtherance of our mission. This funding touches hundreds
of lives each year and we continue to make inroads towards a future of personal financial freedom for
everyone in our community. Our work is made possible by the generous contributions of individuals, credit
unions and system partners who help us put “people helping people” into action.
