“Helping members achieve their goals and improve their lives through quality financial services”

Guardian Finance and Advocacy Services is proud to serve as the Sponsor for the Inspire Community Development Federal Credit Union.

What is a Community Development Credit Union (CDCU)?  It is a credit union with a specialized mission of serving low- and moderate-income people and communities. Read more information about CDCUs.

This important project has been the result of several years of community planning and support. A steering committee of community leaders worked hard to bring this unique financial institution to you.
