What Minnesota Credit Union Network does
Mission
The organization was designed to ensure the success growth and vitality of our member credit unions by creating a positive public environment through leadership, political advocacy, education, awareness and regulatory assistance.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The organization educates legislators at the state and federal level to watch for legislation that is potentially harmful to the credit union movement and its 77 members.
The organization provides a compliance and regulatory avenue for its 77 members to get answers for all their compliance and regulatory questions.
During the year the organization made available to all credit union employees, directors, and others affiliated with the credit union approximately 100 educational events. These events were offered via conferences, seminars, and round table discussions.
The 3 programs described on its FY2023 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2018 to 2019, from $4.5M to $3.5M (−23%).
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. 4 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.

Left out of every figure on this page: $32k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Blaze Credit Union Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK raised.
From the IRS filings of MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 2 of 3 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
MINNESOTA CREDIT UNION NETWORK draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside Minnesota, across 2 states in all.
