$1M across three nonprofits will focus on immediate needs,
hardships
Wells Fargo announced today $1 million in donations across three
nonprofits to enable humanitarian aid for Ukraine and Ukrainian
refugees, as well as support services for U.S. service members and
their families across the globe.
“In times like this, it’s important we come together to support
those most impacted,” said Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf. “We
appreciate the nonprofits on the ground and hope our grants will
enable them to accelerate getting humanitarian aid to those who
require it most. At the same time, we want to support our nation’s
military, which is often called upon in times of need, and we will
continue to provide essential services for service members and
their families.”
The funding is as follows:
- American Red Cross, in coordination with the global Red
Cross network including the International Federation of Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) – A global first responder, the Red Cross is
distributing food, water, first aid supplies, medical supplies,
clothing and other urgent support as well as providing temporary
shelter to people affected by the crisis.
- World Central Kitchen – World Central Kitchen provides
meals in times of crisis. Their team is currently serving tens of
thousands of meals to Ukrainian families fleeing their homes as
well as those who remain in country.
- USO – The USO is rapidly responding with support for
American service members in Eastern Europe with call centers,
hygiene and meal kits, care packages, and other essentials. It also
offers resources that provide care and comfort to U.S. service
member families during this stressful time.
In addition, the company is making it easier for its employees
to support these organizations through its internal employee giving
system. Wells Fargo is also amplifying employee generosity to these
organizations through its Community Care Grants program, allowing
donations of up to $1,000 to qualify for additional grant dollars
to further extend impact.
