Sponsorship: Ohio Credit Union Foundation

OCUF Opportunities

Since 1997, the Ohio Credit Union Foundation (OCUF) has empowered thousands of Ohioans to achieve financial stability and success. Through strategic initiatives that promote financial literacy, expand access to essential financial services, and strengthen credit union resiliency, OCUF is transforming lives and credit union communities across the state.

But we can’t do it alone.

Financial strain affects every aspect of a person’s well-being, and OCUF is committed to addressing it head-on:

Ohio’s homeownership rate fell to 64% by late 2022, a significant decline from 70% high in 2020.
The annual expense for center-based infant care rose from $10,118 in 2021 to $12,351 in 2023.
Nearly half of the 25 jobs expected to have the highest number of annual openings in Ohio through 2028 offer wages below $15 per hour.
As of 2023, the poverty threshold in Ohio for a nonfamily household was $15,480. A total of 48 Ohio counties (out of 88 ) exceeded the national nonfamily household poverty rate of 16%.

Join us in making a difference. Become a sponsor and help fuel the Foundation’s work, because when we invest in people, we all thrive.
