North Shore Bank applied for the FHLB of Chicago grant offered to assist small business and nonprofit partners during the pandemic. The community bank received the maximum amount of funds and was charged with distributing the funds to beneficiaries that need support at this time to continue to make a difference in the community.

United Community Center and La Casa de Esperanza will use funds to assist in the safe operation of their locations to continue to meet the needs of their communities during the pandemic.
“One thing that hasn’t wavered amid the pandemic is our commitment to our nonprofit partners that continue to do good in our communities. We know these recipients will use the grants to best maximize these funds across our community,” said Michael Kellman, senior vice president of consumer lending at North Shore Bank.
