Don’t Tax Our Credit Unions

March 20, 2025

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, Goldenwest Credit Union exists to serve our members—not stockholders. Credit unions are rooted in the cooperative movement, a tradition that has long thrived in Utah and Idaho, where communities come together to support one another through mutual aid and shared financial responsibility. This cooperative spirit has been the foundation of Goldenwest since our humble beginnings in 1936.

With a new Congress and presidential administration in office, tax reform is a key focus in Washington, DC. Now is the time for Goldenwest members to unite in protecting our tax-exempt status.
