    FHLB Des Moines provides funding solutions to more than 1,200 members to support
    mortgage lending, economic development and affordable housing in the communities they
    serve. The Member Impact Fund provides FHLB Des Moines members up to $3 for every $1

    in matching grant donations to strengthen the ability of not-for-profits or government
    entities to support the needs of their communities.

    “The Member Impact Fund continues to be a powerful resource in supporting our members
    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

    capacity-building or working capital necessary to strengthen their ability to serve affordable
    housing or community development needs including job training, affordable housing,
    financial literacy, food banks and youth programs.

    This member matching grant program is part of FHLB Des Moines’ ongoing mission to offer
    a variety of funding options through its members.

    community development with nearly $70 million in grants awarded by FHLB Des Moines.
    Member institutions apply and receive Member Impact Fund matching grants to be
    distributed to eligible organizations alongside their own grant contribution.
