The Braun Foundation: A new focus on financial education in Metro-Denver
Meritrust Credit Union x Christian Braun
We’re proud to announce our partnership with NBA player Christian Braun and his new foundation focused on providing financial education for young athletes and breaking the poverty cycle in the Denver communities. Meritrust and Christian are passionate about helping people improve their relationship with money and will work together to champion financial literacy for years to come. For Christian, this collaboration is an opportunity to give back and make a difference in the city he’s called home since 2022.
About the Braun Foundation
Through this partnership, Meritrust will be the Official Financial Well-Being Partner and exclusive banking partner of the new Braun Foundation. Together, we will provide access to resources, tools and education to empower youth to build confidence with their money management. This includes collaborative programs, joint workshops and seminars across Metro-Denver neighborhoods on financial topics like budgeting, saving, investing, and credit management. Christian will be an active part of these initiatives as he shares his personal relationship with money.
Kansas connection
Meritrust originated from Kansas where they have a long-standing relationship with the University of Kansas as the “Official Financial Well-Being Partner of Kansas Athletics” and the “Exclusive Credit Union of KU Athletics.” As a KU athlete, Christian participated in Meritrust’s financial education sessions, making him a natural ambassador for the brand.
Helping you win with money
As a champion in high school, college and the NBA, Christian knows a thing or two about winning. Now that he’s teamed up with Meritrust, he’s ready to help kids make their financial game plan.
At Meritrust, we work hard to provide the best products and services for our members. With us, you can save, spend, borrow and plan with confidence, so you can feel good about your finances — like Christian.
