Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to supporting community organizations, occurring annually the week after Thanksgiving. In 2024, for the fourth year, ICUF hosted a digital fundraising campaign.

Through this campaign, ICUF raised $740 for mission-aligned programs in the coming year. Thank you to all who donated! These gifts will allow ICUF to invest in critical programs and champion the credit union philosophy of "people helping people".
