in matching grant donations to strengthen the ability of not-for-profits or government

as they expand access to affordable housing and drive community development,” says Kris
Williams, president and CEO of FHLB Des Moines. “It’s inspiring to see the partnerships

housing or community development needs including job training, affordable housing,
financial literacy, food banks and youth programs.
