U.S. Bank Foundation invests $1 million to support emerging leaders and community-led solutions to address economic disparities
July 28, 2021
Annual Market Impact Fund to support 20 organizations and their leaders.
U.S. Bank Foundation today announced a $1 million investment to 20 nonprofit organizations driven by a diverse group of exceptional emerging leaders who are focused on creating effective community-led solutions to the increasing economic disparities.
Organizations are in both rural and metro communities and are focused on support for entrepreneurs and small business owners, workforce development programs and financial inclusion efforts for individuals and families as solutions to wealth building.
“We are dedicated to empowering our communities by listening to those with lived experience and supporting their ideas on how to address racial and economic inequities and creating lasting change,” said Reba Dominski, executive vice president, head of social responsibility at U.S. Bank. “In addition to the funding, we are exploring ways to support these leaders and organizations by creating points of connection and access as well as opportunities to build their networks. We look forward to learning from these leaders as we continue to work to break down traditional power dynamics in philanthropy.”
The emerging leaders recognized through nonprofit grant funding are:
We’re creating an industry-leading experience for people with disabilities.
For Heather Lee, it’s personal.
At work, Lee is a user experience architect on the digital accessibility team at U.S. Bank. At home, she’s a mother of two teenage daughters, both of whom have disabilities.
In both roles, she sees her responsibilities as one and the same.
“Accessibility is a hat I wear 100% of the time,” Lee said. “I don’t get to take it off. And that’s where my passion comes from. I see every inaccessible curb and every web page that doesn’t display alt text. The work we do impacts so many people in their everyday lives, and that’s why I’m so proud of it – I see the impact of it every day.”
