If you had $500 to benefit your community, how would you spend it? For our member, Golden Belt Bank, using an FHLBank #500forGood grant on financial education was an intuitive decision.

"We are very passionate about financial education and strive each year to advance more students' understanding of money, even at their young ages," said Azlyn Grasser, marketing associate at Golden Belt Bank.

With the grant, Golden Belt Bank supplemented a series of lessons they teach in local schools with books and extra supplies.
