Giving Philosophy
CUFA believes in sustainable poverty alleviation through economic empowerment, focusing on building financial capability and creating livelihood opportunities. They view credit unions as community-owned institutions that can drive local economic growth, with revenue cycles that reinvest back into communities. Their theory of change centers on financial inclusion, skills training, and supporting micro-enterprises to help communities weather economic shocks and build long-term prosperity.

The foundation appears to prioritize credit union development, financial literacy education, and micro-enterprise support.
