The KIPP Delta College Preparatory School has become one of the greatest success stories of the Delta Bridge Project, a comprehensive community driven revitalization process facilitated by Southern Bancorp. It is a strong example of the community turning a page and focusing on solutions to shared problems. Southern has provided KIPP with over $2.7 million in grants and loans, including $1 million financing for an expansion of its gymnasium.
Community Development Banks are integral parts of their communities. They serve as financial institutions that provide access to capital and banking services to low and moderate income communities who are often left unserved or underserved by the traditional banking sector.
