Help us Start a New Credit Union for Justice-Involved People
Become a Founding Member or Sponsor of a Groundbreaking Proposed Federal Credit Union for Justice-Involved Individuals.
We are excited to launch this crowdfunding campaign and bring together community members, their families, friends, allies, and mission-aligned organizations to help build the first and only financial institution created for justice-involved individuals.
Please donate to First Step Alliance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the NCUA-approved membership association for this new credit union, as we work to fund the startup costs and regulatory capital needed to open the doors of this transformative, not-for-profit financial institution. Our goal is to raise $2 million to support 10,000 community members and $20 million in deposits within 3 years of opening the Credit Union. If we do not reach this funding goal, your donations and grants will help First Step Alliance continue advancing its mission and expanding community partnerships for our Fresh Start Programs.
EVERY $200 DONATION HELPS SUPPORT AFFORDABLE BANKING SERVICES FOR ONE JUSTICE-INVOLVED PERSON!
Together, we can create a more financially inclusive future for thousands of people and help advance successful reentry, financial stability, and economic mobility for justice-involved individuals. Join us in making this vision a reality.
Thank you!
