Seven credit unions representing 95,000 members from Connecticut to California have received grants to help them reach more Hispanics in their communities.

The 2017 Warren Morrow Hispanic Growth Fund Grants mark the first year for the cash grants from CUNA, the National Credit Union Foundation and the Hispanic marketing firm Coopera based in Des Moines, Iowa. The grants are for up to $1,500 for initiatives focused on Hispanic membership growth.
