Wells Fargo Community Week will Deliver Grants to 73 Connecticut Non-Profits

June 24, 2012

Wells Fargo team members kicked off Connecticut Community Week today by starting to present $73,000 in grants to local non-profits. From June 25 to June 29, store managers will be personally presenting the grants at their stores or at the non-profits. This is part of the Wells Fargo Community Partners program, which was established to give local store managers an opportunity to make a $1,000 charitable contribution on behalf of Wells Fargo to a non-profit of their choice.

Last year in Connecticut, Wells Fargo donated $1.5 million to local nonprofits and our team members logged more than 8,965 volunteer hours. Also, in 2011, Wells Fargo provided approximately $400,000 in Community Partner grants to a diverse group of grassroots organizations across Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

"We are using this occasion to celebrate and acknowledge our community partners who provide critical services to local residents," said Joe Kirk, Wells Fargo's Connecticut regional president. "Through corporate and foundation grants, we support nonprofit organizations that address vital community needs and issues."

Nationally, Wells Fargo is one of the top 10 corporate givers in the U.S. In 2011, the company donated more than $200 million to 19,000 nonprofits for the fourth consecutive year. Our team members personally donated more than $63.9 million and 1.5 million volunteer hours at more than 28,000 nonprofits and schools.

In Connecticut, Wells Fargo has 77 community banking stores and 103 ATMs. More than 1,500 team members work in Connecticut.
