Consider a Donation to ICUF During Annual ICUL Dues Renewal Campaign
The annual Iowa Credit Union League dues renewal campaign is the perfect opportunity for your credit union to consider a gift to your foundation, the Iowa Credit Union Foundation (ICUF).

Next year marks 25 years of impact from the Iowa Credit Union Foundation. From supporting thousands of members with emergency disaster grant assistance to investing more than $2 million in asset building programs, ICUF’s impact over the last 25 years has continued to evolve to meet the needs of Iowa credit unions and their members.

With your continued charitable support, ICUF can continue to focus our investments on your communities and do more in service to our mission. Please consider a charitable gift to ICUF during the annual dues renewal campaign.
