Okay, so here's the big news...

Joe and Luella Bassett -- two longtime Trust Fund supporters -- have issued a $100,000.00 challenge for individual investments. They will match dollar-for-dollar new individual investments with the Trust Fund, which means your investment will go twice as far towards supporting our mission.

Why are investments with the Trust Fund so important? Well, the support we get from our dedicated investors helps fund our affordable housing and economic development loan programs. Here's what we've achieved as an organization, thanks to our investors:



Needless to say, we're very excited about this ambitious challenge from the Bassetts. We'll have much more about all this -- and an interview with the Bassetts -- in the July edition of our newsletter.

In the meantime, if you'd like to learn how you can become a Trust Fund investor, and have your money matched by Joe & Luella Bassett, please contact our Director of Investor Relations, Jane Carpenter, at 313-964-7300.
