Simmons Bank Contributes to JP’s Asset-Building Mission

Justine PETERSEN is grateful for our multi-faceted partnership with Simmons Bank. Most recently, Simmons Bank presented Justine PETERSEN with a monetary contribution to advance our holistic, human-centered, financial asset-building mission which seeks to understand and respond to individual financial problems from a nuanced and tailored specific problem solving perspective and methodology.  Simmons Bank is a participant and investor in JP’s Minority and Small Business Contractor Loan Fund, operates a loan production office housed at JP’s office at 1023 N. Grand Blvd. in St. Louis, and Allan Ivie of Simmons Bank sits on our board of directors and heads our finance committee.  Simmons Bank embodies the type of kinetic partnership that moves both communities forward and the social practice of community development finance.  Justine PETERSEN is most grateful
