New Partnership Expands Credit Unions’ Multicultural Journey

Chartway Credit Union proudly announces its partnership with Norfolk State University (NSU) through sponsorship of the university’s athletics program. This collaboration marks a significant step in Chartway’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of the community, particularly ensuring financial inclusion and upward mobility for the African American community in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia.

“Norfolk State University holds a distinguished position as a historically black college with a profound impact on the local community,” said Melissa Cade, Chartway’s chief retail officer. “Chartway recognizes the importance of this institution and its role in fostering growth and opportunity for African American students and residents in the region,so we are honored to partner with NSU athletics as part of our multicultural journey. Through our combined efforts, we will empower our youth in the area of financial wellness and further our reach into the Black community.”

Chartway's sponsorship of Norfolk State University's athletics programs solidifies its commitment to supporting initiatives that resonate with the diverse population it serves. As part of this partnership, Chartway will have a prominent presence at various NSU sports venues, including William "Dick" Price Stadium and the Joseph G. Echols Memorial Hall.

“Norfolk State University is pleased to be a part of this progressive partnership with Chartway Credit Union. Our collaboration will benefit our students, faculty, staff, and alumni in ways that will enhance their quality of life for years to come,” said Clifford Porter, Jr., vice president for university advancement at Norfolk State University. “As a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), Norfolk State has its origins in creating avenues for the social mobility of people of color in Hampton Roads and beyond. Today, our focus is broader but remains true to that original mission. Our friends at Chartway join us in this effort, and we look forward to the years of progress.”

Chartway’s multicultural journey serves and empowers traditionally overlooked communities including the Hispanic and African American communities.
