Colonial Partners with MBA's Opens Doors Foundation to Benefit Fort Worth Families with Critically Ill Children

FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Colonial Savings, F.A. is proud to partner with the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Opens Doors Foundation to provide rental and mortgage grants to patient families at Cook Children's Medical Center.  

The MBA Opens Doors Foundation is committed to helping families around the country find comfort in their homes when they are at their most vulnerable. The Foundation's Mortgage and Rental Grant Assistance Initiative provides grants to parents and guardians with critically ill or injured children at eight pediatric medical centers across the country, allowing them to take unpaid leave from work and spend precious time together without jeopardizing their homes.  

Locally, the MBA Opens Doors Foundation provided $49,670 in mortgage and rental grants to Cook Children's families in 2016.   Nationally, the Foundation donated more than a half million dollars to families across the country, and it is on track to greatly exceed that amount in 2017.  One hundred percent of donation dollars are distributed to families, with the MBA covering all administrative costs associated with the program.

"A member of the Fort Worth community since our founding in 1952, Colonial has a long history of charitable contributions to benefit local families," said David Motley, President of Colonial and Chairman Elect of MBA. "The MBA Opens Doors Foundation is an initiative that is very close to our hearts. Our hope is that the grants are able to allow these families to spend more time with their children and less time worrying about their finances."
