How You Can Help

Capital Funding

Establishing a financial institution is no small feat. Most proposed federal credit unions never obtain a charter because of inadequate donated capital. Let's demonstrate the power of collaboration and raise the $10 million required.

Membership Survey

C3 is required to survey the proposed field of membership to determine what products and services potential members want and need. A minimum of 384 surveys completed are required. Please help by taking the quick survey below.

Our Mission

Our mission is to financially strengthen the Maryland community by providing financial literacy workshops, entrepreneurship training, and investment educational seminars while ensuring access to responsible credit, savings, and business services delivered in an environment filled with hospitality and compassion.

We will encourage using money and other financial resources carefully and not wastefully to assist with providing financial equity to the underserved and disenfranchised members of the Maryland Community. We plan to economically empower Maryland’s underserved and distressed communities by ensuring that their savings go to work within the communities where those dollars are generated.

We will work to educate our youth on the purpose and importance of savings and understanding how to handle money responsibly. We will also educate youth and adults about credit risk and how to properly position oneself to display low credit risk by focusing on paying all liabilities as agreed upon and accumulating wealth incrementally to foster financial sustainability.

This credit union will support the local business community by providing business services, education, and loan products to keep the business community at the cutting edge of information and technology. We will educate our members on consumer laws and their economic rights.

About Our Credit Union

On January 29, 2024, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) pre-approved the Proof of Concept submission as part of the first of their 3 phase chartering process. For the first time in Maryland history, the NCUA preliminarily agreed to consider these five counties as one community: Charles, Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Calvert, and St. Mary’s.  

This credit union will serve the entire community, focusing on African American and Hispanic residents—as financial institutions have historically underserved them. It is time to begin healing the wounds of economic disparity and ensuring that wealth stays within our communities. 

Please help make this vision possible!
