Consultation and Foundation Guidance
If your credit union is exploring the establishment of its own private foundation or looking to enhance existing charitable operations, ICUF offers consultation services to guide you every step of the way.
Our team provides experienced insight on foundation structure, governance and regulatory requirements, and can also serve as an external, independent resource for grant and scholarship review committees. Email ICUF to learn more.
Donor Advised Funds
ICUF's Donor Advised Fund (DAF) program offers credit unions a flexible way to achieve charitable goals without the complexity of managing a private foundation or hassle of setup costs, excise taxes or administrative burdens.
By partnering with ICUF, your credit union can simplify charitable giving while maintaining control over where contributions are directed. ICUF handles compliance, reporting and nonprofit accounting to ensure that your organization’s philanthropy is both impactful and easy to manage. Email ICUF to learn more.
Restricted Use Funds
Credit unions are deeply connected to their members and employees, especially during times of hardship. ICUF helps credit unions create and manage restricted use funds designed to provide support in times of crisis, such as illness, financial hardship or natural disasters.
ICUF also manages scholarship programs on behalf of credit unions, handling all aspects of administration from applicant communications to scoring and fund disbursement. ICUF's services ensure the process is efficient, fair and aligned with your credit union’s mission. Email ICUF to learn more.
