U.S.BANCORP 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
— 24 —
2016 Snapshot: Community Possible
Building on our legacy of giving back
to the community, we’re excited to
introduce Community Possible in 2016.
This new model for our community
giving efforts is built around three key
areas: Work, Home and Play.
Our efforts in the area of Work will
support programs and organizations
that help small businesses thrive, help
people succeed in the workplace,
help build clearer pathways to higher
education and help people gain greater
nancial literacy. In the area of Home,
we will work to connect individuals
and families to sustainable housing
opportunities. And, nally, through
Play we will focus on investing in
community programs that support
ways for children and adults to
experience play.
One of our rst initiatives in the area
of Play is the U.S.Bank Places to
Play program. In partnership with the
Minnesota Vikings, this three-year,
$1 million effort aims to enhance
Minnesota’s play spaces. Supported
by studies showing that play improves
quality of life, we believe that having
safe and accessible play spaces is an
important way to help communities
achieve their possible.
And this is just the beginning.
Stay tuned throughout 2016 as
we continue to announce
exciting new efforts around
Community Possible.
OUR COMMUNITIES

“ We strive to be a responsible steward of the environment
and acknowledge that we have a responsibility to our

We do this through reducing our use of natural resources,
environmentally benecial lending and investments,
developing products and services that help our customers
reduce their environmental impact and increased due diligence
around our lending practices for high impact industries.”
