The Richard Myles Johnson Foundation, established in 1958 as the California Filene Foundation, supports the financial education efforts of credit unions in California and Nevada.

In 2005, the RMJ Foundation embraced a new emphasis on youth financial literacy, funding meaningful projects, as well as continuing to provide scholarships for credit union staff and volunteers to attend educational seminars and conferences.

In 2006, we are pleased to have funded programs such as the PBS/Junior Achievement Biz Kid$ program and the USA Today Education program, as well as several individual programs developed by credit unions.

Funding financial literacy programs is yet another positive public advocacy tool, and helps credit unions fulfill their mission of serving the underserved.

The Foundation is able to fund these vital programs because of the generous donations from credit unions and credit union organizations in California and Nevada. For information about making a donation, please contact Tena Lozano at (909) 581-3244, or tlozano@rmjfoundation.org.
