Credit union membership through donations?

Question

I'm trying to buy a house and i want to get a mortgage through a good reputable credit union. However, i'm not a member of any special group. do you know of any good credit union for mortgage that accepts members through donation. In other words, some credit union will accept you as a member once you've joined one of their affiliated groups through donations. for instance, you can make a donation to a library which will qualify you for the library membership which in turns gets you elligible to join the underline credit union. Do you know of any?

Please help
Thanks

Go to the following webpage to see if there is a credit union in your area that has a community charter (which allows people who live in a specific geographic area to join).

Most credit unions are formed from the employees of specific companies .

Does your company not have one ?

On occasion , some communities have created credit unions .

Look in the yellow page under credit unions , call each one and ask what their membership requirements are .

Good Luck !
