Brockton-based HarborOne Credit Union’s MultiCultural Banking Center has received a $100,000 grant from the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF).
The foundation, which helps credit unions provide financial education, transaction services, credit, savings and homeownership for low-wealth families, funded 14 initiatives around the country through its Community Investment Fund. The $100,000 grant for the MultiCultural Banking Center was the largest awarded this year, according to the bank.
Believed to be the only one of its kind in the country, HarborOne opened the center last September in its former headquarters in downtown Brockton. The center was created to help low- and moderate-income residents, minorities and immigrants avoid predatory financial practices through education.
