Banks to Award $8K in Grants to Lauderdale County Habitat for Humanity


BankPlus and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) will award $8,000 in Partnership Grant Program (PGP) funds to the Lauderdale County Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that provides safe and secure housing for low-income working families. The grant will be used to support the production of a new marketing plan intended to increase the number of volunteers and financial supporters.

The media is encouraged to join local dignitaries and bank representatives at a check presentation at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 24, 2019, at 1001 29th Avenue in Meridian, Mississippi.

The structure of the PGP enables FHLB Dallas member institutions to contribute $500 to $4,000 to a community-based organization (CBO), which FHLB Dallas matches at a 3:1 ratio.
