Across the Country

From financial literacy to emergency utility assistance, our Across the Country program has reached 105 communities throughout the United States. This unique program was designed to engage our partners who know their community best. Each partner identified a local charity to receive a donation on their behalf, and to date, we've given over $1.4 million to further support our partners and their community needs.

We encourage you to learn more about the recipients below and explore volunteer events to hear from partners (which were randomly selected), staff, and communities members on how these gifts are making an impact.
