CO-OP Financial Services Miracle Match Program
On behalf of Children’s Miracle Network, CO-OP
Financial Services has created a $1 million
matching funds program to encourage credit unions
to participate in local fundraisers. Credit unions
are eligible to receive one match per calendar
year. Credit unions with branches in multiple
markets are eligible for one match per market.
Funds raised for Children’s Miracle Network will
be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000. CO-OP
will match $10,000 for funds raised between
$10,000-$49,999. CO-OP will match 20% of total
funds raised of $50,000 plus.
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.
PS> It's easier to fill out the Miracle
Match application in MS Word®
than as a PDF.
Click here to download the Word document.
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.)
