What’s the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation?

In September of 1993 the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in the state of North Carolina. And, in 1994 the Internal Revenue Service approved the Foundation as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Since that time the Foundation has established itself as a charitable organization Carolinas dedicated to the embodiment of the “people helping people” philosophy of North and South Carolina credit unions, their employees and volunteers, their members, and their communities.
