Broadway Bank Expands Community Investment in Dallas Through Back-to-School Initiative
Partnership with Foundation Communities expands educational opportunity for North Texas students
DALLAS, July 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As thousands of North Texas families prepare for another school year amid rising household costs, Broadway Bank is investing in educational opportunity by helping ensure local students have the supplies they need to succeed through a back-to-school drive benefiting Foundation Communities.
Education is one of the strongest drivers of long-term financial mobility and economic opportunity. For Broadway Bank, the partnership with Foundation Communities represents an investment in the future workforce, economic vitality and long-term resilience of North Texas. The back-to-school initiative is especially meaningful as Broadway celebrates 85 years of service and honors the legacy of co-founder Elizabeth "Betty" Cheever, a teacher whose passion for education and helping others helped shape the community-first values that continue to guide the bank’s partnerships and philanthropic efforts today.
Foundation Communities works with families striving for long-term stability through affordable housing, education and financial empowerment, making the partnership a natural extension of Broadway Bank's commitment to expanding opportunity and strengthening communities. Foundation Communities expects to serve more than 800 students this school year.
"When students begin the school year with the tools they need, they're able to focus on learning instead of what they're missing," said Broadway Bank Community Development Officer Amber Walker. "Supporting education has been part of Broadway Bank's story since our founding in 1941, and we believe investing in students today helps build stronger families, stronger neighborhoods and a stronger North Texas tomorrow."
Through Aug. 7, community members are invited to donate new school supplies by dropping them off at:
Broadway Bank Douglas Financial Center

Dallas, TX 75225
