Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions (WFCU) celebrated a major milestone at the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Credit Union Conference, with President Mike Reuter commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the organization.
“In 1975, when WFCU was founded, from CUNA International, it didn’t have much. No donors. No international funding engine. No disaster fund playbook. But it had something better—a belief that the cooperative spirit is borderless,” said Reuter.
Reuter highlighted how WFCU has since built a Champion community of more than 100 institutional and 300 individual donors who have helped support credit unions in over 90 countries through financial inclusion projects, women and youth leadership programs and disaster relief assistance.
