ICU Foundation

The Illinois Credit Union Foundation (ICU Foundation) is the outward expression of the “People Helping People” philosophy of the credit union movement. This not-for-profit charitable organization promotes the self-help ideals of credit unions through grants, scholarships and cooperative partnerships. Since 1978, the ICU Foundation has provided more than $4 million to support Illinois credit unions through scholarships for professional development, assistance to small credit unions and initiatives promoting financial health.
