Five-year investment highlights bank’s
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion
U.S. Bank announces a $1 million investment
with the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History
and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C. With this five-year
investment, U.S. Bank will join the prestigious Corporate
Leadership Council, a community of engaged corporate donors whose
values reflect a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Honoring and celebrating African American culture is an
important part of American history,” said Andy Cecere, Chairman,
President and CEO of U.S. Bank. “At U.S. Bank, we are committed to
diversity, equity and inclusion and the arts - which brings us
closer together and strengthens our communities. Through this
support of the National Museum, we hope these historical stories
and rich cultural experiences will continue to inspire many for
generations.”
The National Museum of African American History and Culture was
established by Act of Congress in 2003, following decades of
efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African
Americans. The Museum opened to the public on September 24, 2016,
as the 19th and newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution and
stands upon four pillars. One pillar – to help all Americans see
how their stories, histories and cultures are shaped and informed
by global influences aligns with U.S. Bank employees' shared core
value of drawing strength from diversity.
