Technical assistance is offered to community groups throughout the new charter process.
Staff also assist in identifying qualified personnel for credit union recruitment.
The Support Center also offers competitive capacity grants, designed to bolster a credit union's ability to hire new staff, offer new or improved services, or expand or upgrade computer and software systems. These funds are also available to start-up CDCUs. This revolving fund provides a major source of capital, ensuring CDCUs have sufficient funds to meet the credit needs of their members. To qualify for these funds, CDCUs must demonstrate financial need and meet strict financial standards and performance goals.
