Comerica Bank and FHLB Dallas to Announce $10K in Funds to Houston, Texas, Nonprofit


Thanks to $10,000 in Partnership Grant Program (PGP (News - Alert)) funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB Dallas) and Comerica Bank, Houston-based nonprofit PowHer Play will continue to support women in improving their lives. The grant will be awarded to PowHer Play during a check presentation following The Chatman Women's Foundation 2017 Annual Mixer and Open House Thursday, September 14, 2017, in Houston. The media is invited to the check presentation. The mixer and open house event will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The nonprofit will use the funds for organizational capacity-building, contractual services and scholarships.

PowHer Play, which does business as The Chatman Women's Foundation, provides services to women that enable them to go back to school, build businesses, as well as move out of shelters.

PGP awards provide grants to community-based organizations (CBOs) of up to $12,000. The funds may be used for research, organizational capacity-building, grant- and funding-application assistance, or contractual services. Through the PGP, FHLB Dallas matches a member's contribution to a CBO of $500 up to $4,000 at a 3:1 ratio for a maximum $12,000 contribution from FHLB Dallas. The grants are offered via a lottery system once a year through FHLB Dallas members. In 2017, FHLB Dallas awarded $300,000 in PGP funds through 31 member institutions to assist 30 CBOs. Combined with the $104,550 contributed by FHLB Dallas members, a total of $404,550 was awarded to the organizations. For more information, visit fhlb.com.
