Support CUPAC

Your contribution is more than a financial donation — it is a vital investment in the future. Individuals, state-chartered credit unions, and chapters may contribute to CUPAC. While federally chartered credit unions are prohibited by law from making contributions to political action committees, their employees, volunteers and members face no such restriction.

Stay tuned for details on the CUPAC Golf Outing set for June 16, 2026 at the Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont and the CUPAC Auction in conjunction with ICUL's Annual Convention.

This program focuses on raising funds directly from members by requesting contributions either in newsletters or statement stuffers and requesting permission to access their accounts directly for the agreed-upon amount.

Employees and volunteers may use payroll deduction to automatically pay Advocate memberships. The credit union sends one check payable to CUPAC for all participants.

NOTE: Personal checks suggested. Credit union contributions to CUPAC that exceed $100 in aggregate during the year will be subject to applicable federal corporate income tax (due by April 15 of the year following the contribution). Contributions subject to taxation include the net proceeds to CUPAC from golf outing fees paid by the credit union, cash prize donations paid by the credit union and corporate campaign contributions.

Federally chartered credit unions are prohibited by law from making any contributions to a political action committee. Individuals face no tax restrictions.

Contributions to CUPAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. A copy of our report filed with the State Board of Elections is (or will be) available on the Board’s official website (www.elections.il.gov) or for purchase from the State Board of Elections in Springfield, Illinois.

Contributions are strictly voluntary and will be used for political purposes.  You have the right to refuse to contribute without reprisal.  The above amounts are suggested giving levels.  More or less may be contributed.   Contributor will not be favored or disadvantaged by reason of the amount contributed or decision not to contribute.   A portion or this entire donation may be forwarded to CULAC, the federal political action committee of the Credit Union National Association
