INDIANAPOLIS, IN (May 2, 2025) |
Indiana Members Credit Union (IMCU), Central Indiana’s largest credit union, in collaboration with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBank Indianapolis), awarded three nonprofit organizations $154,000 in grant funds through the Community Multiplier – Member Match program.
At the April 29 IMCU board meeting, IMCU and its board of directors presented checks to the following organizations: Helping Veterans and Families (HVAF) of Indiana Inc., the Chin Community of Indiana (CCI), and Burmese American Community Institute (BACI). The $154,000 in grants will support these organizations with their career development, educational assistance, and supportive services programs for prospective homeowners.
“We are proud to partner with these nonprofit organizations and support their career and educational assistance programs for homeowners,” said John Newett, president and chief executive officer of IMCU. “These programs will play a pivotal role in empowering prospective homeowners by providing them with the necessary resources and knowledge to achieve their homeownership dreams. We believe that by investing in these programs, we are not only helping individuals and families but also fostering a stronger, more vibrant community for everyone.
