The Social Development Fund was established by a resolution passed at the 38th annual General Meeting held on May 13th 2004. Its purpose is to provide assistance to members who lack the financial resources to recover from emergencies such as storm damage, fire, earthquake, volcanic eruption, serious illness etc. The fund is managed by a Social Development Fund Committee which was appointed by the Board of Directors in accordance with the resolution. GECCU’s Social Development Fund Committee is tasked with the responsibility of managing the fund within specified guidelines. Drawing on contributions by our membership, it is an unrestricted social safety net available to those in demonstrated need.
