JACKSON, Miss.--()--Representatives from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and the Community Bank of Mississippi will award $30,000 in grants to three Mississippi-based nonprofits – the Coalition of African American Communities ($3,000), Corporation for Global Community Development ($21,000) and Delta Grace, Inc ($6,000).

Under the Partnership Grant Program, FHLB Dallas member institutions contribute $500 to $5,000 to a nonprofit, which FHLB Dallas matches at a 5:1 ratio to provide up to $25,000 to the organization per member. The awards help promote and strengthen relationships between community-based nonprofits and FHLB Dallas members. This year, more than $1.2 million in funding was awarded to 47 community-based organizations via 41 member institutions.
