Overview

Mission

We are a credit union serving our members with a place for loans and a place to save their money.

What it reported doing in 2025

Received deposits on savings from approximately 670 members share type accounts and provided approximately 190 consumer loans to members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
