The 2018-2019 Financial Institution Partnership Opportunity (FIPO) is a bank-led initiative which brings together financial institutions from across the region to combine funds, align priorities, and maximize impact through concentrating support around a community initiative.
$50,000 - $150,000 in funding is available. Depending on the proposal, there may be an opportunity to fund a larger project.
The banks are looking for existing, high impact (i.e. number of people being served and partnerships) project(s) programs(s) in the Promise Zone.

These project(s)/program(s) have to align with 1 or more of the following focus areas along with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requirements:
