The 501c Federal Credit Union (501cFCU)™

The Competence Group, LLC is overjoyed to announce it began the process of Chartering its own Federal Credit Union earlier this year, and it has also begun graciously accepting Volunteers for its Charter Planning Committee (CPC). 

The 501c Federal Credit Union (501cFCU) is a “National” Credit Unit founded for 501c Startups, Entrepreneurs & Small Business. They are a segment of small businesses that grows by at least 950,000 each year but as 501cs are “ineligible” for most SBA programs. They also tend to be excluded from the same startup or small business lending, grant competition, and technical assistance opportunities that are created for or made available to their For-Profit Siblings. And because this by legislation, other policies and business practices follow the Govt’s lead. 

So, while extending membership to others, The 501cFCU™ was established specifically “to guarantee” this segment of the startup and small business community has the banking, lending and other financial services “IT” needs to operate as a business that just happens to be a 501c.

THRIFT STORE FINDS — ONLINE AUCTION SITE LAUNCHED

The LLC’s volunteer work has always been viewed as a charitable version of the SBA, US Depts. of Commerce, Labor, Education & GSA, and at times other agencies as well. We’ve expanded significantly establishing more than 25 charities, an overdue necessity required in order to help more than a few 501c Startups, Entrepreneurs & Tax-Exempt Small Businesses at a time

To help keep things moving along, The LLC will create new orgs and develops programs and resources as is deemed necessary. ThriftStore Finds is an example. TSF is the first of two Silent & Online Auction fundraisers. 

Proceeds be spread across the Enterprise to help connect 501c Startups, Entrepreneurs & Tax-Exempt Small Businesses to the business assets, funding, startup & whatever other assistance they are currently excluded from, denied access to or can’t obtain directly. And when connections aren’t possible, we’ll choose from our Pool of Partners, Sponsors, and Offerors to help us develop what they need in-house.

ThriftStore Finds is now live with a host of auction & raffle items and more coming, the link is below. 

On behalf of all our Volunteers, Interns & Partners, we can’t thank you enough for supporting our work!
