The Foundation was created in January 2012 by the Credit Union of Colorado to promote community development by providing financial and volunteer support in the areas of education and human services.  The new foundation reflects the organization’s long history of philanthropic commitment to its members and the communities where they reside. 

“Our board of directors established this foundation to honor the legacy of service that began with the people who founded our credit union in 1934,” said Terry Leis, president and CEO of Credit Union of Colorado. “We believe our foundation will build upon a legacy of making our communities a better place to live.”

The Credit Union accepts donations on behalf of the Foundation.  Anyone can become a member of the Foundation for a minimum donation of $10.  Foundation members are also eligible to become members of the credit union.
