What a treat to be among so many amazing organizations last week as recipients of the Corley Memorial Trust grant!

This funding will support our Full Potential program, helping make extracurricular activities and Positive Childhood Experiences more accessible to local youth.

We are grateful for Mr. Corley's legacy of generosity and for SMB's thoughtful stewardship of the trust. Thank you for investing in programs that help young people thrive and strengthen southwest Missouri!

Congratulations to this year's Corley Grant recipients!

“This year we were able to assist 72 area non-profits through the distribution of $270,276,” said Chuck Brown, Senior Vice President and Trust Officer at Southwest Missouri Bank. “Over the past seven years over 1.4 million in grants have been distributed. Mr. Corley’s legacy will continue to enhance our local communities for many years to come, and will help these organizations provide much-needed services to our residents.”
