The funding was celebrated during a ceremonial check presentation on September 14.

“McCIF offers small business loans and business training to McLennan County small businesses, providing the funding and expertise that is instrumental in fostering economic growth, innovation and jobs in our communities,” said Dave Talbert, president and CEO of Insurors Indemnity Company.

McCIF will use the funding to build its organizational capacity by offsetting administrative and operational expenses and strengthening the governance of the organization, which is seeking certification from the United States Treasury Department as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Certification will allow McCIF to participate in a number of Treasury and Small Business Administration financing programs including New Market Tax Credits and direct loans and grants to grow its ability to lend.

“This FHLB Dallas funding will further our efforts to assist small businesses in McLennan County and help them grow,” said Bill Vance, McCIF president. “We are very thankful for this funding from FHLB Dallas and Insurors Indemnity Company.”

For 2021, FHLB Dallas awarded $400,000 in PGP grants, and its members provided an additional $200,250 for an impact of more than $600,000 in its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas.

“We value our partnership with Insurors Indemnity, and we look forward to the fruits of this partnership through the growth of small businesses in McLennan County via the work of McCIF,” said Greg Hettrick, first vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.
