 Credit unions have donated $48,000 to ICUF as part of the Iowa Credit Union League's (ICUL) dues renewal process. ICUF would like to sincerely thank those credit unions who contributed. Without kind donations like these, ICUF would be unable to operate. The funds will go towards ICUF's initiatives to help credit unions.
