Giving back to our communities is part of how we invest in the future.

Our unified giving and engagement strategy, Community Possible, focuses on closing the gaps between people and possibility in the areas of work, home and play.
At U.S. Bank, we invest in the local needs of our communities through the U.S. Bank Foundation, corporate contributions, employee matching gifts and volunteerism. In 2022, the U.S. Bank Foundation provided $32 million in grants, gifts and other contributions.

Dollars for Doing program
The Dollars for Doing program supports employee community work with a monetary donation to the nonprofits where they volunteer. The program matches employee volunteer time at $5 per hour, up to 40 hours per year.
Employee giving and engagement campaigns
Each year, we run three company-wide campaigns to give employees additional opportunities to give back to their communities and to each other.
- Employee giving campaign: This campaign encourages employees to make charitable donations to a cause aligned with their passions.
- Employee assistance fund: This primarily employee-funded program provides one-time grants to help employees facing unexpected hardships, as well as emergency grants to those who were displaced from their homes due to natural disasters or other catastrophes.
- #GiveTime Campaign: We participate in the international movement called #GivingTuesday, a day focused on the spirit of giving. Our #GiveTime campaign encourages employees and customers alike to volunteer time and share their experiences on social media, encouraging others in turn to give back in their communities.
