Delta Grace is a faith-based nonprofit that oversees, assists and hosts mission teams to help low-income homeowners with critical home repairs. It will use the PGP proceeds for administrative and operating expenses related to providing repairs.

“We’re honored to provide assistance to Delta Grace by way of PGP funding through our partnership with FHLB Dallas,” said Ryan Strawbridge, market president at Planters Bank. “Together, our combined contributions will play a part in helping Delta Grace continue its mission of providing safe, sanitary and secure housing for the elderly, disabled and other citizens who may not have the means to provide the repairs themselves.”

Awarded annually through FHLB Dallas’ member institutions, PGP funds help promote and strengthen relationships between community-based organizations and FHLB Dallas members. FHLB Dallas matches member contributions of $500 to $4,000 at a 3:1 ratio.

“So many homeowners in our area aren’t able to make urgent repairs to their homes because it’s so expensive,” said Veronica Pritchard, executive director of Delta Grace. “With this funding from FHLB Dallas and Planters Bank, we’re able to help them make those needed repairs so they can live safely in their homes.”

In 2022, FHLB Dallas and its members provided nearly $559,000 in PGP funds to 38 community organizations in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. See the complete list of the grant recipients and visit fhlb.com/pgp to learn more.

“The PGP is all about helping our members lend a hand to impactful organizations in their respective communities,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas. “We appreciate our strong partnership with Planters Bank to assist nonprofits such as Delta Grace continue meeting the needs of its community.”
