Neighborhood Trust Federal Credit Union is a community development financial institution serving low-income residents in the New York City neighborhoods of Washington Heights, Inwood, Hamilton Heights, and West Harlem. The credit union’s non-profit parent organization, Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners, works with a wide network of community-based organizations to provide financial literacy training to low-income adults throughout New York City. Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners (formerly Credit Where Credit Is Due) was founded in 1994 by community activists Mark D. Levine and Luis De Los Santos,[1] with a mission of empowering the overwhelmingly low-income, Latino residents of Northern Manhattan. Neighborhood Trust FCU received its federal charter in 1996, and opened to the community in a formerly abandoned bank branch in 1997.[2] Since 2002 the organization has been led by Justine Zinkin.[3][4] Neighborhood Trust FCU has grown to a membership of nearly 5,000, and has cummulatively lent out more that $15 million in small loans, helping local residents purchase home computers, pay for education, pay off loan sharks (known locally as prestamistas), start small businesses, etc.[5] Today Neighborhood Trust's financial education and counseling programs are in over 30 community organizations throughout New York City, reaching nearly 6,000 individuals annually. In 2012, Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners broadened its mission, seeking partnerships nationally with employers looking to help low-income staff through financial literacy, credit, and wealth-building opportunities.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} References1. ^{{cite news|last=Lii|first=Jane|title=Building a Nest Egg and a Community|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/30/nyregion/building-a-nest-egg-and-a-community.html|accessdate=7 April 2013|newspaper=New York Times|date=March 30, 1997}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Tannenbaum|first=Jeffrey|title=Nonprofit Groups Provide Banking For the Bankless|url=http://www.docstoc.com/docs/151739890/Nonprofit-GroupsProvide-Banking-For-the-Bankless|accessdate=7 April 2013|newspaper=Wall Street Journal|date=October 3, 2000}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Gubar|first=Simone|title=Banking On Social Enterprise|url=http://www7.gsb.columbia.edu/alumni/news/banking-social-enterprise|accessdate=7 April 2013|newspaper=Columbia Business|date=May 2, 2011|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111213180754/http://www7.gsb.columbia.edu/alumni/news/banking-social-enterprise|archivedate=13 December 2011|df=}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Gunn|first=Christopher|title=Third-Sector Development: Making Up for the Market|year=2004|publisher=Cornell University|isbn=0801488818|pages=94–100|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1tDYuib1Oz0C&pg=PA95&dq=levine+zinkin+neighborhood+trust&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WNRhUdHQArGD0QGM44DIAw&ved=0CDEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=levine%20zinkin%20neighborhood%20trust&f=false}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Michels|first=Spencer|title=For Those With Low Incomes, Help Creating a Credit History|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/jan-june09/credit_05-01.html|accessdate=7 April 2013|newspaper=PBS Newshour|date=May 1, 2009}} External links
