Allied Solutions announced the recipients of the inaugural Allied for Good: CU4Kids Grant, awarding 37 grants to credit unions and affinity groups in 19 states.
Launched as an extension of Allied Solutions’ long-standing commitment to CU4Kids, this new grant program provides direct financial support to credit unions looking to elevate their fundraising events, campaigns and community engagement efforts in the year ahead.
Due to the incredible support and volume of applications received for the inaugural Allied for Good: CU4Kids Grant, the program is expanding its impact. Securian Financial and MemberCare, an APCO Holdings brand, have stepped forward as matching partners, increasing the total funding from $60,000 to $85,000 and allowing more credit unions to strengthen their fundraising efforts for local children’s hospitals in the Children’s Miracle Network.
“Allied Solutions is proud to partner with credit unions who share our belief in people helping people,” Pete Hilger, Allied Solutions CEO said. “These grants are designed to empower credit unions to make an even greater impact for children's hospitals in their communities. Thank you to our matching partners, Securian Financial and MemberCare, for your commitment to CU4Kids.”
The Allied for Good: CU4Kids Grant complements Allied Solutions’ ongoing support of CU4Kids Signature Events and reflects their continued investment in the credit union movement and in the health of kids and families nationwide.
