What Iowa Credit Union League does
Mission
The Iowa Credit Union League (icul) is the non-profit trade association that represents the interests of iowa's credit unions. Icul was established in 1933 and continues to focus on our mission "to strengthen the credit union movement by promoting its growth and well-being, and providing the tools for members to succeed." icul provides the following services to iowa credit unions: legislative advocacy, regulatory compliance, public affairs, professional development and management consulting.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Legislative advocacy - work to secure a fair and favorable legislative environment for iowa credit unions through professional lobbying, coalition building, grassroots organization and the credit union political action committee.
Regulatory compliance - monitor regulatory issues, field compliance questions and provide strategic direction concerning credit union compliance issues.
Public affairs and marketing - the public relations and marketing department works closely with credit unions to disseminate pertinent information to the media and community about iowa credit unions and new developments in the industry. Also serves as the resource for community and media relations, marketing the credit brand, and the annual advocacy campaign.
Professional development - the league, in partnership with cuna, holds numerous professional development seminars each year for iowa credit unions to help them learn more about how to best serve their members. The education department helps organize the annual convention.
Managment consultation - the management consultants at icul are strategic partners with individual credit unions to help them identify goals and challenges, and prepare for the future development of their credit union.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $106M to $89M (−16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund IOWA CREDIT UNION LEAGUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 73% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
