I can't believe it. I received a request from my recent post regarding starting your own real estate Fund. This person wants to raise $50 million to $100 million. He doesn't have the money to pay for the legal formation cost. There is no Fund Manager with experience and a successful track record. He has no clue how to get investors. He does not have any of his own money at risk. He tells me he is trying to raise money not spend money. He will pay all cost for the fund out of the money he raises. He gets upset with me because I can't help him. Go figure. #capitalraising #fundmanagement #fundraisingstrategy

I LOVE the fact that it is a group of 100% volunteers that saw the need to get this up and running. The Louise Herring Fund truly does represent what the credit union movement embodied when she started those 500 credit unions. It wasn't about maximizing profit, it was ensuring that individuals who needed financial inclusion the most had an option that would embrace the characteristics that were important to people of low to modest means. These 60+ de novo applications sitting at NCUA waiting to be approved are there because the founding group felt a sense of needing financial inclusion and empowerment, apparently something they felt they weren't receiving in their own communities with existing the financial institutions. Denise Wymore, GSD and her band of volunteers have been gifting many hours of their own time and dollars out of their own pockets to bring a solution to the movement. Contact the CU De Novo Collective board members or go to the website. As a movement, let's show these 63 credit unions in process right now that WE support them and the communities they are so passionately trying to serve. Our industry provides the Louise Herring award annually, recognizing credit unions that do an extraordinary job incorporating credit union philosophy into daily operations. Why don't we all challenge ourselves to carry even a small bit of Louise in our walk as credit union ambassadors. Support this NONPROFIT to pay it forward for other credit unions to serve their purpose. Remember, your credit union started small at some point in time? How many of you would still be here today had it not been for the support of volunteers and their donation of time and money?
