How Does CIF with MEMBERS Trust Company Work?
The National Credit Union Foundation’s Community Investment Fund gives credit unions the ability to leverage their investments to support innovative credit union programs in their state and around the country. To participate in CIF with MEMBERS Trust Company, credit unions invest in either of the following:
- CIF Investment Trust – a conservatively managed 703 permissible funds portfolio. The minimum recommended investment is $500,000.
- CIF CD investment – fully FDIC insured up to $50,000,000. The minimum recommended investment is $250,000.
A portion of the return goes back to investing credit unions, with the remaining share being paid to the NCUF, half of which is then granted to the credit union’s state credit union foundation or league. NCUF uses the remaining portion of the CIF interest to support its national programs including:
- REAL Solutions®
- Financial Education including Biz Kid$ & Grants
- Credit Union Development Education
- CUAid – Disaster Relief
It’s an easy way to make a big impact!
To learn more about CIF and other investment options, credit unions can contact their state credit union foundation, league or NCUF’s Resource Development & Donor Relations Director Josie Collins at jcollins@ncuf.coop or at 800-356-9655, ext. 4397.
