Employee volunteerism and giving

Part of what makes Wells Fargo's philanthropy program so robust is the generosity of our employees who multiply our community impact, locally and collectively. Each year, eligible employees receive 16 hours of paid volunteer time to give back to local communities where they live and work. Wells Fargo provides an innovative and comprehensive portfolio of volunteer opportunities that allows for employees across the globe to engage where and how they want.

Volunteer groups: More than 100,000 employees actively participate in internal volunteering and employee resource groups, which engage with communities through employee volunteer opportunities and community support.

Global Fellows Volunteer program: Our Global Fellows Program is a virtual volunteering initiative with the Grameen Foundation's Bankers without Borders®. This effort seeks to accelerate the social and economic progress of business and entrepreneurs in under-resourced communities around the world, while providing employees with an opportunity to develop leadership skills and enhance cultural competencies with international organizations addressing poverty.

Wells Fargo BuildsSM program: Thousands of employees have volunteered to build, renovate, paint, and repair affordable homes with low- and moderate-income families and individuals in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity International and Rebuilding Together.

Workplace giving: Wells Fargo encourages employees to contribute to the communities where they live and work. The company facilitates employee donations year-round and amplifies the donation impact through the Community Care Grants program. Through this program, employees can qualify for grants for giving and service activities, and then direct the funds to eligible charities of their choice.

Wells Fargo is donating roughly $420 million to help small businesses stay open through our Open for Business Fund.
