Vizo Financial Empowerment Grants with Lauren Whaley, Carolinas Credit Union Foundation, and CU Empowerment Grant Recipients

Last week, Jaime invited Sue Ward-Diorio from the CrossState Credit Union Foundation and three credit union grant recipients to the podcast to chat about the Vizo Financial Empowerment Grants. This week, the focus on the CU Empowerment Grants Program continues, as Jaime sits down with Lauren Whaley from the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation and three grant recipients — Sarah Bell from Greenville FCU, Kalyn Stowers from TCP FCU and Elizabeth Spell from Summit CU. Lauren is explaining the qualifications needed to receive a grant, how the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation promoted the grants and some positive feedback in response to them. The three recipients are sharing: • Their credit union’s purpose behind applying for the grant • How their credit union is utilizing it • The benefits that the new programs, being funded by the grant, have on the credit union and its members Lauren, Sarah, Kalyn and Elizabeth are sharing a lot of great information in this episode, so make sure to check it out! And if you’re interested in applying for a CU Empowerment Grant, please reach out to your regional credit union foundation.
