The funding is already helping deliver critical local relief, as well as addressing the bank’s philanthropic focus areas in housing affordability ($445,000), small business growth ($195,000), and financial health ($347,500).
Among the local nonprofits in that align with Wells Fargo’s COVID-19 relief focus areas are:
Financial Health

Housing Affordability
Builders of Hope CDC, Development Corporation of Tarrant County and Housing Opportunities of Fort Worth

Wells Fargo said the grants have focused on meeting urgent basic community needs, providing support for small businesses, and housing stability for the area’s most vulnerable populations.
