GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS

2012 Miracle Match Grant Application Process

We have great news!

  1. Any credit union can apply for the 2012 CO-OP Financial Services matching grant, even if your credit union doesn’t use CO-OP’s services.

  2. Previously a credit union could apply for only one grant, but for 2012, a credit union can apply for a signature event (an old event) and as many new fundraisers as you want. Please note that applying does not guarantee grant approval. CO-OP will make the final decision as to what fundraisers they will match.

Credit unions can apply for 2012 fundraisers now. You must apply for a grant before your fundraiser takes place or by September 30, 2012, at the latest. Send your application in even if you don’t know all the details of your fundraiser. You can update CO-OP once your details are set.

Go to co-opfs.org/miracle-match and fill out the application today!

Send in your grant application as far in advance as possible to secure the grant.

Even if you don't have all of the details of your fundraiser nailed down, you can provide the details as time goes on. For more information visit the CO-OP Financial Services' Miracle Maker website. You can also contact or call (800) 782-9042, x2558.

Important Note: Do NOT use the donation reporting form on the MiracleSoup website -- use our Donation Reporting Form instead and submit it to us every time when remitting funds. (The MiracleSoup form is for credit unions that do not have a regional fundraising committee in place.)

   Northwoods Credit Union held a bake sale raising $743 and doubled their effort by applying for and being approved to receive a CO-OP Financial Services Match.
   "It was a lot of fun and it’s an easy cause to get our employees, members and community to rally behind!" Kate Mason, Marketing and Business Development at Northwoods Credit Union.


*There are new rules, which are posted on their website.
*There is a Miracle Match logo that must be included on event or campaign literature, posters, etc. for approved matches. This will be explained in the information sent out from COOP Financial Services, acknowledging that your event has been approved for the match.

Please note the response to Grant Application Section II, question 6: Please describe how the funds raised at this event will benefit your local Children's Miracle Network hospital. RESPONSE: Funds raised help to cover the cost of treatment for patients who do not have sufficient insurance coverage, help to cover the cost of the Mobile Outreach Clinics that bring Gillette's services to communities across the state of Minnesota, and help provide updated medical technology and equipment.
