MADISON, Wis. — The Filene Research Institute has launched a legacy gifts fund to support research and innovation at the institute.

Credit unions can support the fund through memorials and honorariums, gifts through a donor's will, retirement funds, life insurance, financial accounts and cash donations.

"For two decades, Filene has been a powerful force for the continued development of the cooperative credit union idea," said Patsy Van Ouwerker, Filene board chair and president/CEO of Travis Credit Union. "Gifts to the legacy gift fund will help to maintain projects that impact the very future of credit unions, as well as the evolution of new ideas to help us serve our members better."
