What is the Member Impact Fund?
The 2024 Member Impact Fund, supported by the Federal Home Loan Bank Des Moines, is a matching grant program that bolsters community development by encouraging partnerships between nonprofit organizations and financial institutions. This impactful program provides additional funding to support affordable housing and community development initiatives, ensuring vital projects have the resources to make a lasting impact in the regions they serve.
​
This year, Beyond Shelter Inc. was selected to receive a $400,000 grant, thanks in part to Wells Fargo’s sponsorship and commitment to affordable housing. Beyond Shelter Inc. will use the funding to continue its vital work in developing affordable housing solutions, not only in Fargo but also in surrounding areas as well. This grant represents an invaluable step forward in creating and sustaining housing options that are both accessible and high-quality, particularly in communities facing housing shortages.

​Supporting Future Affordable Housing in Fargo
At MetroPlains Management, we are proud to partner with Beyond Shelter Inc. across several properties in the Fargo area, and we are thrilled to support their mission to increase the availability of affordable housing. We believe that fostering such partnerships is essential for strengthening our communities and ensuring that residents have access to the resources and living spaces they need to thrive. Events like this remind us of the power of collaboration and community-focused initiatives to make a difference in the lives of our residents and the neighborhoods they call home.
