Neighborhood CU Foundations First Annual Meeting

On Thursday, April 22, 2021, Neighborhood CU Foundation held its first annual meeting since launching in 2020.    

Since December 2020, the foundation has welcomed over 200 members and raised over $1,000. Joining the foundation provides access to financial products and services to continue their financial wellness journey. 

Neighborhood Credit Union Foundation has partnered with other organizations to offer convenient and free financial education resources. The foundation's partnership with GreenPath Financial Wellness provides members with the ability to collaborate with a virtual financial coach. Members can chat in real-time with a financial expert from the comfort of wherever they are and with a level of anonymity that consumers may prefer when discussing sensitive financial matters. 

“We are so excited about the 200 members we’ve welcomed since launching in 2020, and these members come from all across the state of Texas,” says Jessie Swendig, president of the foundation. “We can’t wait to see what kind of impact we will have by providing convenient financial education for all.” 

Attending the meeting were about two dozen Neighborhood Credit Union Foundation members.  

Neighborhood Credit Union Foundation’s mission is to help Texans make smart financial choices in money management and attain financial prosperity. The foundation opens Neighborhood Credit Union's membership eligibility to the entire state of Texas and provides access to financial experts that help members with their everyday financial needs.  

Neighborhood Credit Union has always advocated for financial literacy in a variety of methods prior to launching the foundation. They offer ongoing free financial literacy classes throughout the year that cover topics from buying a home to saving for retirement. A free tool called Money Management is located in Online Banking and the MyNCU mobile app, where members can learn how to best manage budgets with easy-to-follow graphs, adult online financial education modules, and a suite of financial calculators to assist members in making sound financial decisions. The credit union also has an ongoing partnership with GreenPath. 
 
The goal of the Neighborhood Credit Union Foundation is to further the credit union’s efforts in creating achievable financial literacy throughout the state of Texas.
