Security Bank & Trust Co. and FHLB Partner to Award $40,000 to New Pathways

Security Bank & Trust Co. is proud to partner with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) to award a $40,000 grant to New Pathways, a nonprofit organization based in Cambridge, Minnesota. The grant combines a $10,000 donation from Security Bank & Trust Co. with a $30,000 match through the FHLB Member Impact Fund. 

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to building stronger communities by supporting organizations that are making a tangible difference. New Pathways has a long-standing reputation for helping families and individuals facing homelessness find safety, stability, and the resources they need to move forward. 

Empowering Local Solutions Through Strong Partnerships 

New Pathways provides shelter, transitional housing, and supportive services to those experiencing housing insecurity across Central Minnesota. Their approach combines short-term emergency support with long-term case management, helping people rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose. By supporting their work, this funding will help expand program capacity, sustain essential services, and ensure families can access safe and stable housing. 

The grant was made possible through the FHLB Des Moines Member Impact Fund, a program that helps community banks and credit unions amplify their support of nonprofit organizations. By matching member donations, the FHLB enables financial institutions like ours to make a greater impact on the local nonprofits we care about most.
