Getting Started

Online Application Access

The Member Impact Fund application is accessed through eAdvantage, FHLB Des Moines’ secure, online member site. eAdvantage requires members to have a user ID and password. 

Only members (not grantees) may apply for the Member Impact Fund.

eAdvantage Administrators

Each member has a designated “Administrator” who is responsible for adding and deleting users for their member institution and can also manage and change user access permissions as needed.

If you have questions regarding the eAdvantage Administrator process, or identifying your eAdvantage Administrator, please contact memberservices@fhlbdm.com or 800.544.3452 ext. 2200.
