BancorpSouth Bank (NYSE: BXS) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) awarded $78,222 in Partnership Grant Program (PGP) matching-grant funding to 10 nonprofits in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.

PGP grants help qualified nonprofit organizations fund a variety of operational and administrative activities that are critical to serving their communities.

The following organizations, listed in alphabetical order, received funding:

Coalition of African American Communities, Gulfport, Mississippi, $6,000, offers youth development, financial literacy and small business training to minority and low-income residents of Gulfport, Mississippi.

Hernando Desoto Habitat for Humanity, Hernando, Mississippi, $10,000, builds homes with volunteers, including future Habitat for Humanity homeowners, who are offered a no-interest affordable mortgage to buy the home they help build.

Hope Downtown Network, Hope, Arkansas, $4,000, makes and promotes improvements to the downtown area of Hope, Arkansas.

IN Affordable Housing, Little Rock, Arkansas, $1,117, creates and preserves affordable housing opportunities in targeted neighborhoods for families with limited incomes through training, financial education and advocacy.

Christmas in April Grenada Inc., Grenada, Mississippi, $5,000, makes home repairs for the needy and elderly.

“With the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the added impact of Hurricane Ida on many of these organizations, these funds will offer a safety net to address administrative and operational expenses that many grants often exclude from coverage,” said BancorpSouth Northeast Mississippi Division President Mark Burleson. “We are pleased to join with FHLB Dallas in distributing this funding.”

For 2021, FHLB Dallas awarded $400,000 in PGP grants, and its members provided an additional $200,250 for an impact of more than $600,000 in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

“Donations to 10 nonprofits spanning three states demonstrates BancorpSouth’s strong commitment to improving the communities where it does business,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “Our partnership with BancorpSouth and the matching-grant nature of the PGP has enabled both banks to make a lasting impact on these nonprofits, some of which have received multiple rounds of PGP funding over the years.”
