HIGHTSTOWN, N.J.—The New Jersey CU League is partnering with Chilliwack, B.C.-based Currency Marketing on a financial literacy program that will also act as a fundraiser.
Called “It’s a Money Thing,” the young adult financial literacy program is available by subscription to NJCUL member CUs. Ten percent of each subscription will go the New Jersey Credit Union Foundation, which provides financial literacy and technical assistance to small credit unions, professional development opportunities and support for philanthropic activities in connection with New Jersey and the New Jersey credit union movement.
“Not only does the It’s a Money Thing program provide comprehensive ongoing financial literacy content, it’s providing fundraising for our foundation as a whole,” explained Greg Michlig, NJCUL president/CEO and secretary/treasurer of the New Jersey Credit Union Foundation, in a statement first reported by the league. “Providing financial education to young adults in New Jersey is a key outcome for our foundation.”
Currency has also partnered with the Credit Unions Care Foundation of Virginia and the Virginia Credit Union League.
