Working with credit unions across multiple years gives us the opportunity to assist them in fully embracing their roles as CDFIs, and Nova Credit Union is a great example of this. Thanks Michael Beall, ICUDE for sharing their latest achievements!
Spent today with the Board of Directors and staff at Nova CU in kannapolis. NC where their CDFI journey started. This year they broke through over $5 million in CDFI awards won. Today was more steps on their strategic journey focusing on their amazing 2024 FA grant win programmed around their women’s empowerment initiative and reflecting on being a women driven financial institution in their communities like the Charlotte market which has become one of the most diverse cities. They have finished part of a journey of developing a plan with Joe Brancucci of CU RESULTS, our consulting arm that has a 5 year roadmap mixing CDFI and EPA resources as well as planning for reaching further into their low to moderate target 🎯 market! I’m proud to have worked with them over the last 7 years!

We love that description of CDFIs! Our Mark Volz, CUDE, CCM and Rick Thomas are at the Opportunity Finance Network's conference this week, sharing their financial justice passion with other like-minded professionals - maybe they'll see you there?
I have to steal this one “CDFI’s are the Financial Justice Fighters and create opportunities to those who didn’t have it before.” This will help for the upcoming holidays. Please use when necessary.

We love seeing one of our own quoted in a national magazine. Great quotes from CU Strategic Planning's Chief Innovation Officer, Jamie Strayer, in Salon.com.
People need financial solutions more than advice. That's why The Opportunity Initiative & Opportunity Knocks on PBS was featured in Salon.com today! Salon magazine's in-depth content has challenged conventional wisdom for nearly 20 years. Thank you, Melanie Lockert for including quotes fom Jamie Strayer.
