The purpose-driven company’s award-winning Community Impact
Program encourages employees to give back to their communities.
The American Bankers Association Foundation named Pathward™,
N.A., formerly known as MetaBank®, N.A., a winner of its 2022
Community Commitment Award. The award recognizes Pathward’s
Community Impact Program in the Volunteerism category. The
Foundation presented the award to Pathward during the ABA’s Annual
Convention on Oct. 4 in Austin, Texas. Award winners were chosen by
a field of nationally recognized experts.
Launched in 2021, Pathward’s Community Impact Program partners
with organizations that provide resources for the unbanked and
underbanked and aid historically marginalized populations. Through
corporate giving, employee volunteer activities, and charitable
investments, the Community Impact Program delivers on Pathward’s
purpose of powering financial inclusion for all™ by lifting up the
communities Pathward serves. In the first year of the program,
Pathward tallied nearly $700,000 in charitable investments, 4,096
total employee volunteer hours tracked and 740 hours of paid time
off for volunteering.
“At Pathward, we believe in creating lasting, positive change
within the communities where we live and operate,” said Anthony
Sharett, Pathward’s President. “Our Community Impact Program has
led to fruitful partnerships with community stakeholders and
organizations that are providing wraparound services for those in
need. I’m proud of our employees who have worked so hard to serve
their communities and promote economic mobility in the spirit of
our purpose. We are honored to accept this award for the team’s
collective efforts.”
The ABA selection committee chose the winning banks based on the
creativity and thoughtfulness of programs — traditional or
innovative in nature and structure — that embody the ideals of
corporate social responsibility and demonstrate success in
measurable terms.
“We received many strong entries this year, but Pathward and its
Community Impact Program stood out among the pack,” said Lindsay
Torrico, executive director, ABA Foundation. “It’s wonderful to see
an organization identify a need within its community and
immediately get to work. We applaud Pathward for its unwavering
commitment to community and hope others throughout the industry
will be inspired to give back and drive community change.”
