Our First for Good Community Crew has been hard at work spreading kindness around our communities over the last few months! We passed out flower arrangements for Mother's Day and purchased meals for lunch-goers at Lovie’s Food Truck in Grand Rapids. In Lansing, we surprised people with free frozen yogurt, pizza, and popcorn from various local shops. We also treated lunchtime visitors at Detroit's Eastern Market and Downtown Street Eats in Cadillac Square with a meal on us. Finally, in Royal Oak, we filled the gas tanks for many happy drivers and and surprised Veterans at the local VFW hall with a pizza party!

Michigan First Credit Union reposted this
Thankful for the opportunity for Michigan First Credit Union to be the first financial institution and CDFI to partner with Biz Kid$ (Emmy Award-Winning) to offer a special financial education experience and surprise 35 students from University Prep Academy with $100 each. Thank you Jamie Strayer for the partnership!
What's next for Biz Kids and credit unions? It's huge with momentum! Credit unions have long been the headline sponsors of Biz Kid$, championing behaviorally designed youth financial education through entrepreneurialism. This commitment began with the GoWest Credit Union Association Foundation, the founding fiscal sponsor, and 288 credit unions funded the production, and was sustained by the National Credit Union Foundation, which provided Biz Kid$ with the largest grant in credit union history in 2007 and continued to support it generously for nearly two decades. Today, Biz Kid$ continues to thrive, thanks to its incredible fiscal sponsor, the National Council for Financial Opportunities, managed by Callahan & Associates, Inc. TAPCO Credit Union, SkyPoint Federal Credit Union, Pelican State Credit Union, Michigan First Credit Union, and CSE Federal Credit Union provided grants to students at Title One Schools to experience financial education with their own money using the Biz Kid$ newly minted books sponsored by PSCU now Velera. A groundbreaking new partnership with the Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship, a partnership with LifeCents for education and behavioral outcome measurement, and a grant from BECU for a new behaviorally designed website from Catalysis, along with a brand redesign that is fire 🔥from Mighty Media Studios are moving Biz Kid$ Nation forward with incredible speed. A call to action for all credit unions: Watch Mike Lawson's short interview with Jamie Strayer and Jeannine Glista on CU Broadcast. Now is the time to get involved as we activate our base of teachers in schools across the country, 250,000 social media followers, and millions of real Biz Kids who are now parents to bring Biz Kid$ and credit unions to their own kids. Biz Kid$ is also thrilled to be featured at Credit Union Financial Education Network's Annual Conference in July! Thank you for your advocacy, support, and sponsorship: SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union, San Diego County Credit Union, Juli, Courtney, Danielle, Jill, Andy,Joshua, Bill, Merry Pateuk, Richard, William, Jessica Sharon, CCUFC, CUDE, MBA, Borowy, MBA, Ryan, Jim, Trysh, Lisa, Leigh, Melanie, Tim, Tena #BizKids #CreditUnions #FinancialLiteracy #YouthEducation #BizKidsNation #CUbroadcast #FinancialEducation #SingletonFoundation #BECU #PSCU

Joining a credit union with nearly 100 years of history just got easier! Our teams have been working incredibly hard over the last few months to launch a digital branch, and their hard work has paid off! Through our partnership with MANTL, we've implemented a state-of-the-art digital account application and booking process that removes the need for an in-person branch visit, allowing us to fully leverage our statewide charter. We are excited for the opportunity to provide even greater access to financial services across Michigan and look forward to serving this great state we call home!

We want to give a huge shoutout to our Michigan First Mortgage team for helping our members achieve their homeownership goals. From the first time they meet with someone to the final signature at closing, the entire team goes above and beyond to ensure every homebuyer feels supported and informed throughout the entire process.
Spending the day with our Michigan First Mortgage team is a source of pride and energy for me. Their tireless work everyday to make home ownership a reality for our members is nothing short of amazing. #teamwork #stillgrowing #CUmortgage
