About the RMJ Foundation
THE STATE CREDIT UNION FOUNDATION FOR CALIFORNIA & NEVADA
The Richard Myles Johnson Foundation, established in 1958 as the California Filene Foundation, provides financial education resources for credit unions in California and Nevada.
Never has there been more of a need to reach young people with vital financial decision-making information than now. The RMJ Foundation’s hallmark program, Bite of Reality, targets teenagers age 15 to 18 with much needed information and context. Bite of Reality provides solid financial education, such as car buying, home buying, and budgeting, using experiential learning.
Funding financial education programs is a positive public advocacy tool, and helps credit unions fulfill their mission of serving their community. 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.

THE CREDIT UNION TRAIN
We are sad to announce that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 LA County Fair has been cancelled and we will not be running the Credit Union Train at the Fairplex Garden Railroad this year. The RMJ Foundation would still like support our sponsoring credit unions by showcasing them on our social media outlets and website from September 4- 27. We will be running a picture of their train car and a segment about all the great work they are doing and continues to do during the pandemic. Check back in September to see this year’s Credit Union Train participants. |
