our team
At UNFCU Foundation, we believe that women are best served by organizations that break down social, economic, and gender-based barriers. I am incredibly grateful to both our partners and donors, and excited by the opportunity we have to create a better world for all of us. We are thrilled to work with our Board, partners and volunteers to work to end poverty every day.
