  • Small Credit Union Mentoring (maximum award, $25,000) — matching small credit unions with larger mentor credit unions to build capacity and expand services;
  • Digital Services and Cybersecurity (maximum award, $10,000) — assisting credit unions with modernizing information and security systems to better protect themselves and members from cyberattacks; and
  • Training (maximum award, $5,000) — strengthening credit unions through succession planning, leadership development, and staff education.

Grant requirements, application instructions, and other information are available on the NCUA’s program page and credit unions can use the NCUA’s cybergrants portal to submit their applications.
