Together, we are investing in the long-term success of the communities we serve. We are grateful to Great Plains Bank and to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for their generous matching support.”
    The grant will help GROW South Dakota continue its work in housing, education, and economic development across the state. FHLB Des Moines provides funding solutions to its members to support mortgage lending, economic development, and affordable housing, while the Member Impact Fund strengthens local nonprofits and government organizations addressing community needs.
