Monies were not all that FSR member company associates contributed. Many member company employees were personally impacted by these natural disasters, and others opened their doors, sent supplies, and led local efforts to begin the recovery process.

Comerica Colleagues Support the Community with Holiday Spirit Comerica Bank colleagues across the country have been wrapping up their year-long volunteer efforts by sharing their holiday spirit in the community. From decorating trees to serving a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to donating items for veterans undergoing medical treatment, Comerica colleagues embraced the opportunity to brighten the holidays for people of all ages.

“As the end of the year approaches, our employees often reflect on the gifts they’ve been given in their lives and are looking for ways to give back to those who may not be as fortunate,” explained Patricia McCann, who leads Comerica’s volunteer efforts. “Finding opportunities for our employees to donate their time to local nonprofit organizations is one way we demonstrate our commitment to the communities we serve.”

Comerica volunteers participated in the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children’s holiday decorating party for the 20th consecutive year. More than 50 trees were decorated and placed throughout the hospital in hopes of lifting the spirits of the patients during the holidays.

This year Comerica challenged its colleagues to donate 65,000 volunteer hours in the community. With 61,000 volunteer hours already recorded, employees are on their way to exceeding that goal.

Congratulations Comerica Incorporated!

Tory Burch Foundation and Bank of America Connect Women Entrepreneurs to Affordable Loans For Toni Ricci, owner of Elite Dance and Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles, the path to business ownership wasn’t easy.

Between limited savings and a low credit score, it was hard for Toni to access capital.

Toni’s story isn’t unique. In the U.S. women entrepreneurs still face challenges to getting a loan. Only 1 in every 23 loan dollars will be given to a woman-owned business. To address this issue, Bank of America and the Tory Burch Foundation formed a partnership to create the Tory Burch Foundation Capital Program, which connects women to affordable loans.

Since its founding in 2014, the program has committed $50 million in affordable loans to U.S. women entrepreneurs. For women like Toni, these loans are crucial to taking their businesses to the next level.

With a loan secured through the Tory Burch Foundation Capital Program, Toni Ricci, founder and owner of Elite Dance and Performing Arts Center, was able to expand her studio space, offer more classes and serve hundreds more students.

The Tory Burch Foundation Capital Program has positively impacted nearly 1,500 women and currently operates in 16 U.S. states.

Operation HOPE Marks 25 Years of Financial Empowerment Services for the Underserved Since 1992, Operation HOPE has been moving America from civil rights to “silver rights” with the mission of making free enterprise and capitalism work for the underserved—disrupting poverty for millions of low- and moderate-income families across the nation.

HOPE’s mission connects the legacy of the Freedman’s Bank, established by President Abraham Lincoln more than 150 years ago to integrate all Americans into our nation’s economic life, and the second part of Dr. Martin Luther King’s integration dream—the integration of the dollar, under the banner of “silver rights”—rights to financial literacy, access to capital, and equity of opportunity, for all.

Through the HOPE Inside model, which received the 2016 Innovator of the Year recognition by American Banker, Operation HOPE has served more than 2.8 million individuals and directed more than $2.7 billion in economic activity into disenfranchised communities. The work of HOPE is transforming lives and uplifting communities.

Jump$tart Coalition National Educator Conference Sells Out The Jump$tart Coalition, a national nonprofit coalition of 150 organizations, for the 9th year hosted its National Educator Conference (NEC), which brings together educators from across the country. This year, teachers represented nearly every state and students from elementary school to post-secondary.

What’s also significant about NEC is that through the teachers thousands (41,000 in fact) of students gain more personal finance knowledge each year.

2017 was the first time the conference sold out. NEC had to be capped at 300 teachers. The conference underwriters – Wells Fargo and Experian – as well as dozens of sponsors make the event possible.

Jacqueline Howard, Senior Director of Corporate Citizenship shares Ally Financial’s new children’s book during the National Educator Conference Exhibit Hall. The exhibit hall gives teachers two uninterrupted hours of talking with resource providers and getting all the samples they can – often to share with teachers who weren’t able to attend.

Each year, teachers walk away from the conference feeling energized, carrying countless resources and having access to a new network of teachers who also are dedicated to teaching personal finance. The conference’s 10th anniversary, NEC will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 3-5.

Charitable Giving The FSR Foundation supports the charitable and corporate social responsibility priorities of FSR member companies by providing donations to augment their giving. These donations are typically only given at the request of an FSR member company.

The FSR Foundation raises funds from FSR member companies on an annual basis to support these initiatives.
