Future Of Credit Union Success

 

 

It’s no secret: the New York credit union movement is a powerful advocacy force with a proven track record when it comes to government affairs. But before we can even think about taking a stand on legislation, we need to ensure political candidates who support the credit union mission have the resources they need to run for office.

 

That’s where our political action committee comes into play.

 

FOCUS New York is New York’s credit union political action committee. Individual contributions to FOCUS New York are directed in a bipartisan manner to help elect candidates for state office who support a pro-credit union agenda and reflect the ideals and values of the credit union movement. Contributions to FOCUS New York help protect the interests of credit unions in New York and ensure that credit unions have a voice in state government.

 

 

 

Contributions to the FOCUS NY PAC are for political purposes and are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes. All contributions to the FOCUS NY PAC are voluntary. You may refuse to contribute without reprisal. Rules for state political fundraising require us to record the name and address of anyone who donates, and if the donor contributes more than $99 per year, we are also required to disclose the donor’s name and address to the New York State Board of Elections.

 

Corporate contributions from federal credit unions are prohibited. State chartered credit unions may make a corporate contribution up to $5,000 per calendar year.
