Important Program Announcements from the NCUA Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives
Following are upcoming events and program information compiled by the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA's) Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives. Assets for Independence (AFI): Offers a series of webinars to introduce and explain the AFI federal grant program. AFI provides funding for low income designated and community development credit unions, and other community-based organizations to provide Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) for qualified individuals in their area. The funds can be used for education, to purchase a home, or start a business.
Bank On: Credit union leaders can learn more about the unbanked and underbanked populations in their communities with a free, online data tool from Bank On. Through the Bank On website tool, users can: download estimates of the number of unbanked and underbanked households at city/town, county, metro area and state levels; download supplementary demographic data on at-risk populations in a specific community; map unbanked and underbanked households down to the neighborhood level; and print customized reports on the financially underserved in a specific community. Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund: The CDFI Fund promotes economic revitalization and community development through investment in and assistance to community development financial institutions (CDFIs). CDFIs provide a range of financial products and services in economically distressed target markets, such as mortgage financing for low-income and first-time homebuyers and not-for-profit developers, flexible underwriting and risk capital for needed community facilities, and technical assistance, commercial loans and investments to small start-up or expanding businesses in low-income areas.

U.S. Internal Revenue Service – Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): The EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families.
