Grants are being handled at the state level by the Texas CU Foundation and the Louisiana CU Foundation. Both are making $500 emergency grants in this initial phase. Both hope to be in a position to make larger grants to meet long-term needs if donations keep coming in.

Donations to the credit union relief fund can be made online at www.cuaid.coop.
