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.

For over 80 years the people of our communities have been helping each other make dreams come true. In 1932, 11 El Paso civil servants pooled $5 each to form a credit union. Today GECU is the largest and one of the strongest locally-owned financial institutions in the city we call home with more than 340,000 members, 18 branches, and over $2 billion in assets. Becoming a GECU member is easy. You can join if you live or work in El Paso County, Hudspeth County or Doña Ana County not more than 25 miles from our 1500 North Resler Branch. To establish your membership, you must open, deposit and maintain $20 in a GECU Share Account. That represents your share in GECU.
