Green America brings you the following from Self-Help Credit Union, a certified member of Green America’s Green Business Network. Dear Green American: Do you want to make a lasting difference in 2021? Place your savings at Self-Help Credit Union to support communities adversely impacted by the development, implementation, and enforcement of racist laws, regulations, and policies. Historically, society’s most vulnerable groups—low-income families and communities of color—have been the first-hit and hardest-hit by the catastrophic effects of climate change. Historical disinvestment and redlining have then exacerbated the risks of extreme heat and weather. Support communities disproportionately impacted by climate change by purchasing a certificate of deposit, the Green Term Certificate, at Self-Help Credit Union. | |
Self-Help Credit Union has long believed it is crucial to invest in communities on the front lines of the climate crisis: - Self-Help has made loans totaling over $386 million to projects with environmental benefits: recycling businesses, land conservation, and energy efficiency.
- 63% of all dollars loaned out by Self-Help have been invested in communities of color.
- Self-Help does not invest in fossil fuels or projects that harm our planet.
Put your money where your values are by placing your savings at Self-Help Credit Union. There are many benefits to moving your money to Self-Help: - Multiple account options: Green Term Certificates or a traditional Self-Help money market, savings, or IRA account.
- Your funds support communities most impacted by climate change.
- Deposit products are open to all who want to invest in supporting communities: foundations, nonprofits, corporations, individuals and more.
