WASHINGTON — Citing the outpouring of online credit union generosity for Hurricane Ike relief, the National Credit Union Foundation this week listed 71 organizational donations from 24 states totaling $147,000 with the average contribution hitting $2, 079.
In addition, there were 88 individual donations from 13 states totaling $6,990 "well above average for the disaster relief industry and a testament" to how CUs take care of their own.
The NCUF report listed the top three CU donors as Keesler FCU in Biloxi, Miss., with $25,000; Merck Employees FCU in Rahway, N.J., with $10,000; and SchoolsFirst FCU in Santa Ana, Calif., at $10,000. The NCUF also re-granted $25,000 of the proceeds from the America's Credit Unions Congressional Invitational Golf Tournament to the disaster relief effort, said Steven Bosack, NCUF deputy director.
