TriUnity Foundation: Helping Eliminate Debt for Those Facing Terminal Illnesses

St. Cloud Financial Credit Union is proud to announce the official launch of TriUnity Foundation, a new first-of-its kind foundation to the credit union industry that empowers hope, healing and strength to individuals and families facing terminal illness.

TriUnity Foundation’s mission is to eliminate the strain of debt for individuals battling a terminal illness, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: their relationships and the beauty of life itself. Facing a terminal illness can bring overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial challenges, and the foundation is committed to providing meaningful financial relief to help individuals and families navigate this difficult season with hope and resilience.

“Everyone here at this credit union wants to dig in and make a meaningful difference. This foundation was created because they saw a need that not a lot of organizations were touching,” said LeAnn Case, TriUnity Foundation Board Chair.

TriUnity Foundation is more than just a nonprofit organization—it is a community, a family, and a lifeline for those in their most challenging times. By addressing urgent financial needs, the foundation seeks to provide support and relief, ensuring no one faces the financial burden of a terminal illness alone.

“We are inspired to lead this foundation because it aligns with who we are as a credit union,” said Jed Meyer, President & CEO of St. Cloud Financial Credit Union and TriUnity Foundation Board Member. “TriUnity allows us to reach beyond traditional financial services and support our members in their greatest time of need. This foundation is a reflection of our commitment to strengthening our community in every way we can.”
