North Liberty, IA — GreenState Credit Union has announced the launch of the GreenState Foundation, a member-based 501(c)3 dedicated to expanding the impact of its community investment and philanthropic giving.

The Foundation also offers a suite of family financial wellness tools called MoneyRight, designed to assist members in living a more prosperous life.
“GreenState Credit Union has an ability and responsibility to be a leader in enhancing the vitality of our communities, and we realize the creation of a charitable giving foundation is the next step as we grow across the region,” states Jeff Disterhoft, President/CEO of GreenState Credit Union.
