NCOFCU - CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT

www.NCOFCU.org NCOFCU - CHAMPION FOR THE FIRST RESPONDER CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT Support Our Advocacy Efforts to Protect the Credit Union Tax Exemption NCOFCU Letter to the "Ways and Means Committee" Dear NCOFCU Members, As we continue our mission to support credit unions serving first responders, I want to reach out to you regarding an important issue that affects our entire movement: the preservation of the credit union tax exemption. The credit union tax exemption is crucial for ensuring that we can provide affordable services to our members and maintain our unique cooperative structure. This exemption allows us to operate in a manner that prioritizes service over profit, enabling us to give back to our communities in meaningful ways. However, there are challenges on the horizon that threaten this vital exemption. We urge you to lend your voice to our advocacy efforts aimed at protecting this important benefit. Here are a few ways you can help: Contact Your Legislators:** Reach out to your local representatives and express your support for maintaining the credit union tax exemption. Share how your credit union has positively impacted the community and the importance of this exemption in your operations. Use NCOFCU Resources:** We are providing templates and resources to assist you in your communications with lawmakers. You can access these materials on our website at [insert website link]. Spread the Word:** Engage your staff and volunteers in this effort. The more voices we have advocating for this cause, the stronger our message will be. Stay Informed:** Keep an eye on updates from the NCOFCU regarding this issue. We will share information about pivotal moments in the legislative process that require your immediate action. Your participation is key to our advocacy efforts, and together, we can ensure the credit union tax exemption remains intact. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to the values our credit unions uphold. If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.
