clear: the need for financial education has never been greater. At Neighborhood CU Foundation, our mission is rooted in the belief that financial wellness is a cornerstone of a thriving community. Yet, the reality for many Texans tells a different story.
After the turkey is gone and the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping frenzies have subsided, here comes Giving Tuesday — a day that encourages us to give back to the communities and causes we care about.
When we think of giving to charity, our minds often drift to the idea of clicking the “donate” button online. However, giving back can take many different forms, and some of the most impactful donations don’t involve money at all. Donating our gently-used items can really make a difference.
As we reach the midpoint of 2024, I am excited to share with you the remarkable progress we have made so far this year. Our commitment to promoting financial literacy and well-being continues to drive our initiatives, and I am proud of the strides we have taken together.
When you embark on the search for a new home, you may think you know the steps to take: Read the listings, visit some open houses, sign on with a Realtor, make an offer. In fact, there’s a biggie missing from that list — a step as important financially as the house you decide to buy itself: Get a mortgage.
As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on the journey we've had together, filled with accomplishments and growth. The Neighborhood CU Foundation has experienced significant milestones this year, and I am thrilled to share our progress with you in this end-of-year newsletter.
As 2023 draws to a close, it’s time to get our financial lives in order for the New Year so we can kick-start 2024 with as little financial stress as possible — and set some money goals for ourselves that we can actually reach.
If you’re fortunate enough to have more than you need, it’s always nice to give back. But where? So many charities could do amazing things with your money — the challenge is determining where your gift will be best used to make the biggest impact.
