16 U.S. BANCORP
We work to connect directly with the people
and the organizations of our communities,
not only by providing needed financial
services and credit, but also through collab-
orative investments and efforts through our
Community Development divisions. These are
focused on affordable housing investments,
economic development support, education,
arts and culture and community service. It’s
through these initiatives and investments
and our partnerships with local and national
organizations that our resources — financial
and human — have the best potential to
stimulate economic growth and enhance the
quality of life.
In addition, more than $20 million is
contributed in grants and charitable
contributions to thousands of organizations
through the U.S. Bancorp Foundation.
Here, we highlight just a few of the
hundreds of ways we are involved in
our communities.
