THE NEED FOR TRANSFORMATION
GLOBAL PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed people of color more than it has white people and further
exposed long-standing health and economic inequalities. (Source: CDC)
RACIAL RECKONING
There is a growing surge of support for #BlackLivesMatter that expresses a call to dismantle structural
racism embedded in our economy by creating opportunity. For example, Netflix has committed 2% of
its deposits (or $100M) to financial institutions led by BIPOC as part of #BankBlack. (Source: NYT)
ECONOMIC CRISIS
We’re invisible and disposable to the traditional banks. They take our
money, our deposits, but we don’t get the loans that white churches get,
white businesses get. We are dehumanized by traditional lenders.

THE VISION
FOR CHANGE
09
Given that the essential cause of poverty in
underrepresented communities is intentional
underinvestment through historic barriers to capital access,
the prime directive of living into God’s economy is to
deploy local church assets for mission, and to remove any
and all barriers to, and reignite the flow of all resources -
including financial capital - in communities that have
been historically impoverished.
–Rev. Dr. Duggan
Church-based credit union network of micro branches (nodes)
Designed to establish church-based credit culture for the un- and underbanked
Supply money to capital structure supplies both principal and collateral of share secured loans
(deployed initially as small-dollar consumer loans of <$2500)
Time and programmatic success will allow for larger loans (i.e., car
loans, mortgages ,etc.)
Administrative support for nodes provided by Hope Credit Union
(well-established national credit union)
Rebirth CU helps establish a culture of credit, building on the church's
existing capacity and community leadership and a connection between
developing intergenerational wealth and reciprocal relationships across
class and race.
