Tell A Friend Segs4Vets Donation Exceeds Goal by Sarah Cousineau $158,977 was the amount raised this year for Segs4Vets from the Missouri Banker’s Association fundraising effort. This more than doubled the goal of $75,000 set for this year. Many banks contribute to this fund from all over Missouri. Central Bank of KC had a special part in this fundraising goal this year, as a large portion of this donation was made through our New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. Each for profit beneficiary of a NMTC project that benefits from the tax credits are required to give part of that benefit back to a worthy non-profit of our choice here at CBKC . We chose Segs4Vets as the beneficiary of the $55,000 donation for this particular project.

Late last week, we actually had enough funds to add another 12 year old child to our Christmas list.
