Secondary Capital: Increase Your Community Impact
Tuesday, June 28, 2016 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET
Federation secondary capital loans are one of the few sources of capital for credit unions. Greylock FCU, with branches throughout the Massachusetts' Berkshires, is using Federation secondary capital for its Foreclosure Prevention and Member Relief Program.
This new program targets credit union members who need assistance with their mortgage loans, providing financial education and help with budgeting. This CDI Program investment will free approximately $1 million of Greylock's own capital to strengthen and grow its community development lending while decreasing delinquencies.
Register today for our Secondary Capital webinar to learn if a Secondary Capital loan from the Federation is right for you. The deadline for applications is July 22, 2016.
