The National Credit Union Administration, an independent federal agency, is giving nearly $40,000 to five credit unions across Maine as part of a competitive grant process.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin announced the grant funding Wednesday. The five credit unions are among 225 across the country to receive over $2 million for the agency’s second grant round.
“Our community credit unions are the backbone of Maine’s economy,” Poliquin said in a statement. “This grant shows the NCUA’s commitment to helping our credit unions and small businesses.”
Here are the recipients for NCUA’s second grant round:
• Eastmill Federal Credit Union, East Millinocket – $7,500
• Brewer Federal Credit Union, Brewer – $8,775
• Lincoln Maine Federal Credit Union, Lincoln – $ 7,500
• Changing Seasons Federal Credit Union, Hampden – $10,000
