The Iowa Credit Union Foundation (ICUF) launched a new Emergency Relief Fund to assist Iowans during the pandemic, which has caused a major disruption to the state’s economy, the income of many Iowans, and the health of small businesses across the state.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Jaimie Miller, the fund has raised more than $675,000 with donations still streaming in.
