Community Bank of Mississippi and FHLB Dallas Celebrate Grants
In an inspiring move to uplift local communities, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and the Community Bank of Mississippi recently awarded $30,000 in grants to three dedicated nonprofits. This initiative underscores the positive impact financial institutions can have on community development and support.
The Benefiting Nonprofits
The recipients of the generous grants include the Coalition of African American Communities with $3,000, the Corporation for Global Community Development, receiving a substantial $21,000, and Delta Grace, Inc., which was awarded $6,000. These funds are designed to help these organizations amplify their efforts in service of the community, enhancing their capacity to make a difference in people's lives.
