It's a Money Thing 365-Day Content Adventure Contest Winners Announced!

We doubled first prize!

We had 17 credit unions enter our It's a Money Thing 365-Day Content Adventure Contest, and wow—what amazing entries!

Each credit union had to submit an entry that detailed an overall strategy, presented a creative plan for deployment, outlined the potential impact of implementing the plan and demonstrated credit union need.

Quite simply, our judges were blown away

So much so that we had a four-way tie for first place. These four credit unions' entries were so great that we decided not to go to a tie-breaker. Instead, we decided to award ALL OF THEM a first-place prize!

Congratulations to:

• Barbara Bean at Cal Poly Federal Credit Union in Pomona, CA
• Nicolus Blunt at Kingston Community Credit Union in Kingston, ON
• Christopher Olson at Linn Area Credit Union in Cedar Rapids, IA
• Robert Ford at White Rose Credit Union in York, PA

These credit unions will each receive a free 12-month subscription to our It’s a Money Thing financial education content program. During the year, we'll check in and report on how it's going for them.

Financial literacy is a priority for credit unions

It's obvious that financial literacy content for young adults is a priority for many credit unions across the United States and Canada.

Thank you to everyone who entered.
