Wells Fargo has made a multi-year $1,280,000 commitment to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity to create affordable homeownership opportunities for local families. The grant will support the construction of 16 homes over five years, building brighter futures for families who buy homes with Habitat.
“We’re so grateful for Wells Fargo’s long and strong partnership here in the Twin Cities,” said Susan Haigh, President and CEO of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. “Wells Fargo’s commitment makes affordable homeownership possible for families in our community, and that impact multiplies for generations.”
Wells Fargo has been a corporate partner for Twin Cities Habitat since 1993. The $1.28M commitment includes a grant toward a Habitat home that will be built to commemorate the 25-year relationship.
“We have a long history of working with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity revitalizing local neighborhoods, building stronger diverse communities, and providing positive impact through public-private collaborations,” said Dave Kvamme, Wells Fargo Minnesota CEO. “In addition to providing grants, our team members are very active and engaged volunteers who support their local communities by applying their time and talents where they live and work to create affordable and sustainable housing.”
Since 1993, Wells Fargo has donated more than $4.8M to sponsor work on 160+ homes, this includes 38 full home sponsorships, 24 A Brush with Kindness paint and repair projects, and nine Women Build houses. Each year, more than 900 Wells Fargo team members volunteer with Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
Wells Fargo’s commitment will contribute to Twin Cities Habitat’s Impact 2020 strategic plan to more than double Habitat homeownership opportunities over the coming years.
