BOSTON, October 29, 2020 (Newswire.com) – The Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Association created their independent Massachusetts Mortgage Bankers Foundation, Inc. as a philanthropic effort to provide financial assistance toward credit education and pursue a goal of improving the availability of affordable housing.
Since its inception in 2004, the Foundation has awarded over $235,000, helping 49 non-profit organizations with 90 different grants.
Birchwood Credit Services Inc. has committed to donating $4,500 to the Foundation. Birchwood fully supports the Foundation in their effort to fund education for future homebuyers.
Mounzer Aylouche, Vice President of Homeownership Programs at Mass Housing, is the Foundation’s President.
“With these funds, the Foundation will grant financial support to not-for-profit housing advocates who come recommended by members of the MMBA. We are hopeful that our philanthropic participation in housing issues will better the understanding of the mortgage process to those who seek homeownership, particularly in underserved communities,” Aylouche said.
The Foundation enables the MMBA to fulfill their mission in acquiring the necessary financial assistance to nonprofit organizations and support homeownership education in communities that need it – a mission in which Birchwood Credit fully believes in.
“We hope that you and your firm will help us with this aggressive housing agenda. Please join us today and help us meet this challenge,” Aylouche said.
The deadline for 2020 grant applications is October 30. All grant applications must have a letter of recommendation from an MMBA member.
