Since 2018, the TruStage Foundation Inc. (the Foundation) has invested close to $25.5 million in more than 270 nonprofit organizations and social impact projects across the country. The Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of TruStage, formerly known as CUNA Mutual Group. Most of those dollars have gone to organizations in Wisconsin and Iowa — the states with the largest share of TruStage employees.
Last year, the Foundation contributed close to $4.5 million to community partners in Wisconsin and Iowa. Almost $2.4 million of that amount went to Iowa- and Wisconsin-based organizations focused on supporting K–12 students through literacy, mentoring, and tutoring. Roughly $1.4 million went to organizations dedicated to affordable housing, addressing homelessness, and rental assistance.
In 2023, the Foundation focused its philanthropic efforts on economic mobility, with an emphasis in supporting education and housing.
