The Foundation
was established in 1958 for the purpose of promoting credit
union education and building a vibrant leadership force for
the future.
We can all
agree effective leadership is achieved through education. The
Richard Myles Johnson Foundation, guided through our mission,
provides educational grants and scholarship programs for the
personal and professional growth of credit union staff members
and volunteers.
Credit
unions were founded on the core principle of "People Helping
People." The Foundation applies this philosophy to community
outreach efforts focused on financial education. Driven by our
vision, the Foundation champions community-focused education programs
involved in advancing financial literacy.
"The
Foundation honors me with naming this highly regarded organization
which shares my passion for education and the growth of the credit
union movement, which I hold so dear."
"I'm
proud to be involved in an organization which contributes to the
education of consumers on the basics of personal finance. Financial
independence is a goal all Americans share. Yet, many Americans
have never learned the basics of personal finance - the tools necessary
to build sound financial futures."
Richard Myles
(Dick) Johnson is a credit union visionary whose contributions have
inspired countless leaders throughout the credit union movement.
