Economic empowerment begins with access. Since our launch in 2021, we’ve prioritized lending to small businesses across the country, especially those in low- and moderate-income communities, rural areas, and historically marginalized populations. We're supporting the communities we serve with financial access and opportunity through thoughtful lending, meaningful partnerships, and intentional investments.
Since 2021, we’ve:
- Funded billions in small business loans, with a strong focus on low- and moderate-income communities and entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds.
- Invested nearly $30 million in community development initiatives supporting affordable housing, small business development, and financial empowerment programs across the country.
- Committed more than $3 million in capital to Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs) that expand access to financial solutions for underserved communities.
- Launched an annual non-profit grant program in partnership with the Community Foundation of Utah, providing direct support to mission-driven organizations advancing economic inclusion, affordable housing and small business success in our assessment area.
- Delivered hands-on financial education programs for youth, emerging entrepreneurs, and community leaders in collaboration with grassroots partners.
This is just the start. As we grow, so does our commitment to closing the economic opportunity gap. Whether it’s expanding access to credit, increasing financial education, or partnering with grassroots organizations doing critical work, we’ll continue to invest in people and communities.
