Supporting our communities

Through our businesses and the Wells Fargo Foundation, we align our resources and expertise to make a positive impact in communities.

We provide grants to nonprofit organizations at the national and local level, with a focus on supporting organizations championing financial opportunity, access to affordable housing and supporting small business growth.

Financial opportunity

We're supporting programs opening pathways to economic advancement through programs that support financial mobility, reduce debt, and drive savings and wealth-building behavior.

Housing access and affordability

We support programs that drive solutions to enable people to open doors to a quality and affordable place to call home, the foundation for wellness, dignity, and economic opportunity.

Business growth

We strengthen communities and help create local jobs by investing in programs to support business owners. We fund nonprofits that are focused on providing capital, technical assistance and networks of support for entrepreneurs.

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.

Employee Impact Teams: Employee Impact Teams organize and lead group volunteer events throughout the year and nurture lasting relationships with local charities.

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 communities around the world, while providing employees with an opportunity to develop leadership skills and enhance competencies.

Wells Fargo Builds^SM 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.
