We are privileged to have a strong base of member Credit Unions and individual members. We are especially grateful to those individuals who have become lifetime members.

Over the past 40 plus years we have supported credit unions and co-operatives with their philanthropic activities across Ontario. With your support we plan on doing so for the next 40 years – plus!

Your collective contributions allow us to offer a bursary program for financially deserving post secondary students who demonstrate solid community citizenship, with tuition to accredited colleges, university and vocational institutions.  For information on becoming a Member Credit Union email clayton AT ocuf.org.
