The funding came through the Member Impact Fund, a matching grant program through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines designed to amplify local community investment. "We cannot carry out our mission without these thoughtful businesses who care about our residents as much as we do," said a ranch spokesperson. Special K Ranch, based in Columbus, provides residential and vocational services for adults with developmental disabilities.
