16 U.S. BANCORP
Building Communities
Putting the power of U.S. Bank
to work for our communities
U.S. Bank is active in the communities
we serve, helping to assure access to
financial resources, information and
expertise that will foster economic
development, create affordable housing,
support the arts, and further educational
and social programs.
We partner with many organizations,
as well as provide U.S. Bank financial,
volunteer and leadership support to a
wide variety of community initiatives.
In 2007, nearly $20 million was
contributed in grants to thousands
of charitable organizations through the
U.S. Bancorp Foundation in support
of economic opportunity, education and
artistic and cultural enrichment.
In 2007, thousands of U.S. Bancorp
employees devoted tens of thousands
of hours of volunteer time to support
communities and causes.
Community Build Day — U.S. Bank
employees’ efforts recognized
More than 5,000 U.S. Bank employees
participated in 194 Community Build
Day events, in 119 cities in 30 states in
2007 helping more than 5,000 families.
The Financial Services Roundtable, a
trade association of 100 of the largest
integrated financial services companies in
the nation, sponsors this nationwide
event annually. The Roundtable awarded
U.S. Bank its Community Build Day
Leadership Award in honor of all our
employees nationwide at an all-employee
celebration in January.
U.S. Bank Development Network
fosters leadership and service
Development Network chapters assist
employees in taking an active role in
their careers and personal development
and community service. Currently
54 Development Network chapters are
active across the U.S.
Five Star Volunteer Day program
and Five Star Volunteer Awards
U.S. Bank has inaugurated Five Star
Volunteer Day which allows employees
up to a full day off — with pay — to
volunteer with a non-profit organization
or event. New in 2008, this program
further encourages U.S. Bank employees
to help build their communities.
Each year U.S. Bank presents the
Five Star Volunteer Award to our most
outstanding employee volunteers. In
2007 we recognized 135 employees in
26 states and the District of Columbia,
chosen from more than 300 nominations.
In honor of their dedication to their
communities, U.S. Bank contributed over
$100,000 to the nonprofit organizations
where they volunteer.
