Driven by a wave of natural disasters this year, relief aid raised by the industry has hit $300,000, and perhaps more in uncounted contributions, based on a CUNA-state league sampling.
For its part, CUNA said this week the latest total for disaster relief through the online CUAid program, managed by the National Credit Union Foundation, has reached $240,000, including $104,000 for the Joplin, Mo., tornado in May, $117,000 for the Alabama/Deep South twisters in April and $20,000 for the recent North Dakota flooding.
"The CUAid campaigns for southern tornadoes and for Missouri are now closed, though money is still trickling in," said a spokesman for the foundation, adding that fundraising for Minot, N.D., flood victims is still continuing.
