Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help`s founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream. Specifically, we: * Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation. * Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects. * Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.

Desert Schools Federal Credit Union was founded in 1939 by 12 teachers, each of whom invested five dollars into the newly formed credit union.
Melrose Credit Union was established in 1922 to provide financial resources for individuals and small business owners from the Bronx, NY. Through the Credit Union, community residents were afforded the means to pursue their American Dreams. Our mission today is the same as it was then: to empower the community by offering affordable financial products and services. Today, that commitment to the communities we serve has helped transform Melrose Credit Union from a small storefront in the Bronx, NY into one of the most successful financial institutions in the United States. Melrose members enjoy some of the highest saving yields and lowest loan rates in the region. Melrose Credit Union operates under the supervision of the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS). All deposit accounts are federally insured under the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) to at least $250,000 per account by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The NCUSIF is subsidized by participating credit unions and does not receive funding from any tax revenues.
