Working Together with Our Communities
We work together with our communities the same way we
work together with our customers. Think about it—every
customer belongs to a community! The relationships we build
serving customers often bring us opportunities to help their
communities. Before we decide where to invest in a community,
we rely first on the people who know our communities best—
the people who live and work there—our team members.
By paying attention, asking the right questions and making
the right connections, they discover where Wells Fargo can
make an important difference in their communities.
By working together we can make our communities better
places to live and work. Good for customers. Good for team
members. Good for communities.
Revitalizing the Railyard
Can a city park flourish when there isn’t enough water? Santa Fe, New Mexico, has a plan, and Wells Fargo is helping to put it
into action. Team member Thomas Bustamante, an active community volunteer, learned that the Trust for Public Land was
revitalizing Santa Fe’s historic Railyard. The project creates a gathering place for the community including parks, a farmers’
market and an arts center. But where can the city get enough water to cultivate 50 acres of land? The solution: an advanced
water harvesting system that feeds the park with rainwater runoff from other buildings. Bustamante connected the Trust for
Public Land with Wells Fargo. Result: an environmental matching grant for $12,500 from Wells Fargo to help build the system
and preserve the city’s precious water supply.
