In addition to providing disaster-recovery funding in areas served by Regions Bank, the Regions Foundation delivers grants addressing other long-term issues such as economic and community development, education, financial wellness and more.<\/p>\n \nOrganizations supported by the grants announced Tuesday are:<\/p>\n \n\u201cWhen disasters strike, United Way of Greater Nashville and the American Red Cross are ready to respond with care and compassion,\u201d said Marta Self, executive director of the Regions Foundation. \u201cMonths and even years of disaster-response planning are coming to fruition right now because these nonprofits have the experience, skills and dedication to quickly go into action and serve neighbors in need. Our opportunity at the Regions Foundation is to provide financial backing that helps ensure people facing needs today \u2013 and tomorrow \u2013 will be able to benefit from these crucial lifelines.\u201d<\/p>\n \nLee Blank, market executive for Regions Bank in Middle Tennessee, said the grants from the Regions Foundation are the latest of countless examples of people and nonprofits showing solidarity during a time of severe impacts on individuals, families and businesses.<\/p>\n \n\u201cAll of us who live in Middle Tennessee have been affected in one way or another,\u201d Blank shared. \u201cOrganizations like United Way of Greater Nashville are making a real, tangible difference. We appreciate our colleagues at the Regions Foundation for providing crucial funding to support these operations. And we encourage others who are in a position to give to consider how they can donate or volunteer<\/a> in support of not only the work under way today \u2013 but also preparations United Way and others are making year-round so they are always ready to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n \nIn North Mississippi, Regions Bank Market Executive Ashley McLellan has seen the impacts of the storm first-hand.<\/p>\n \n\u201cThis recent winter storm brought punishing cold and ice to communities across North Mississippi, leaving many families without power and facing real hardship,\u201d McLellan said. \u201cWhile this level of winter weather is uncommon for our region, what is familiar is the way people step up for one another when it matters most. In the midst of these outages and disruptions, volunteers and personnel have been on the ground, focused on keeping people safe, warm and supported. We are deeply grateful to every Red Cross volunteer and team member serving North Mississippi, and we thank the Regions Foundation for their generosity in helping sustain these critical relief efforts when our neighbors need them most.\u201d<\/p>\n \nSeparately, Regions Bank is offering a series of disaster-recovery financial services designed to help those affected by the late January winter storm. Options from the bank include1<\/sup>:<\/p>\n \n\u201cAnother way we serve is by simply listening \u2013 truly listening to the unique needs of consumers and business owners \u2013 and seeing how our financial experience can help meet short-term and long-term priorities,\u201d said John Jordan, head of Retail for Regions Bank. \u201cWe\u2019re members of these communities, too.
