Month: May 2026

CINCINNATI, May 4, 2026 /3BL/ – Today, employees across Fifth Third Bank’s (Nasdaq: FITB) U.S. footprint will celebrate the 35^th annual “Fifth Third Day” through service activities to help fight food insecurity and expand financial access within their local communities.

On Fifth Third Day (5/3 on the calendar), Fifth Third employees unite to pack millions of meals and support local hunger relief organizations. The day kicks off a month of volunteering activities across Fifth Third’s U.S. footprint, focused on fighting food insecurity and expanding financial access and inclusion.

“Every year, this tradition reminds me of something simple and important: who we are is defined by how we show up — for our customers, for each other and for our communities,” said Tim Spence, chairman, CEO and president of Fifth Third. “Today kicks off a month-long effort to provide millions of meals and expand financial access to the communities we serve. And following our merger with Comerica, we have an expanded footprint and a larger team, united in our desire to make a meaningful difference.”

Since 1991, Fifth Third has celebrated its employees, customers and communities on its signature day, May 3. Because the date falls on a weekend this year, service activities begin on May 4 and will continue throughout May in support of local hunger relief organizations.

This year’s Fifth Third Day reflects the Bank’s expanded footprint following its merger with Comerica Bank, bringing the tradition to new communities for the first time. The day provides an opportunity for Fifth Third’s existing and new employees to unite behind a common goal: helping address food insecurity and advancing financial access and inclusion among their friends and neighbors.

“According to Feeding America, 48 million people in the United States face food insecurity, including 1 in 5 children. Our efforts on Fifth Third Day and throughout the month of May can make a difference,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer for Fifth Third. “As Fifth Third and Comerica come together as the nation’s ninth largest U.S. bank, this year’s Fifth Third Day is special because it reflects our shared commitment to showing up for our communities where it matters the most.”

Expanding financial access for local communities

For more than 20 years, the Fifth Third Financial Empowerment Mobile, commonly known as the eBus, has brought financial access, social services, and education directly into communities the Bank serves, especially in underserved areas.

The eBus will visit communities across Ohio on Fifth Third Day and throughout the month of May as part of a 10-state tour that runs through November.

In partnership with SpringFour, the eBus connects community members to vital human and social services organizations to address needs related to food savings, rental resources, childcare, employment services, small business support and more. Through its digital self-service financial wellness solution, SpringFour delivers access to more than 27,000 local, state, and national nonprofit and government resources across more than 25 categories.

Fifth Third and Springfour reimagined and relaunched the eBus on Fifth Third Day in 2024. Over the past two years, the eBus has delivered more than 31,000 financial health referrals during more than 3,000 visits, connecting individuals and families to essential resources. Services are free and available to all, regardless of whether the visitor is a Fifth Third customer.

Supporting the next generation

Fifth Third’s commitment to its communities also means investing in the next generation from the very beginning.

On May 3, Fifth Third surprised the families of babies born on Fifth Third Day at 53 select local hospitals across five cities – Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, Orlando – with a gift of $1,053 to open a 529 college savings account.

Since 2017, Fifth Third Babies has delivered nearly $965,000 in 529 plan funding to the families of more than 900 babies born on Fifth Third Day across eight states, in partnership with Gift of College, Inc. Families also receive care packages from Fifth Third with gift cards and gifts for the new baby and parents.

From 5/3 through 5/29, the public has the opportunity to participate in a social media sweepstakes to win a Fifth Third Babies gift bag, including a $1,053 Gift of College card to be redeemed at GiftofCollege.com into a 529 college savings plan.

ATLANTA, May 4, 2026 /3BL/ – Invest Atlanta and the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta today announced new philanthropic grants from Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation to support small business growth and housing stability across metro Atlanta.

The funding includes $550,000 to support Invest Atlanta’s BizLabs Technical Assistance program and a $2.25 million grant to the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta to advance housing stability and neighborhood investment across the region.

As housing costs rise and small businesses face increasing pressure, these investments aim to strengthen stability and expand opportunity across metro Atlanta. Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation have now surpassed more than $40 million in philanthropic support in metro Atlanta since 2021.

“Wells Fargo’s substantial and consistent investment in Atlanta reflects a meaningful commitment to our city and our people,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “By supporting the Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative through strengthening housing stability and uplifting small businesses, this funding helps to build more resilient neighborhoods and ensure Atlanta’s economy benefits all residents. We look forward to the continued impact this partnership will make in the years ahead.”

“Wells Fargo’s continued long-term commitment in Atlanta reflects our investment in the community,” said Jason Rosenberg, Wells Fargo’s head of Public Affairs. “These philanthropic investments will support small businesses, strengthen neighborhoods and help advance growth for our customers, employees and communities throughout the city.”

Supporting Small Business Growth in Atlanta

The announcement was made at a ribbon-cutting for local business, Kindred Paper, at its new downtown Pop-Up location, presented by Invest Atlanta and Atlanta Downtown.

The Wells Fargo grant of $550,000 supports Invest Atlanta’s BizLabs Program, providing small businesses with expert guidance and resources to grow and establish a long-term presence. It also helps activate storefronts like this downtown Pop-Up location, positioning businesses to benefit from increased visibility and economic activity expected in Atlanta this summer with FIFA World Cup 2026™.

This most recent funding follows a $20 million Open for Business Fund grant that Wells Fargo announced in 2022 to support a United Way of Greater Atlanta and Invest Atlanta collaboration to help Atlanta small businesses grow.

“We truly appreciate how Wells Fargo shares our vision of strengthening Atlanta’s small business community and the neighborhoods they call home,” said Dr. Eloisa Klementich, president and CEO of Invest Atlanta. “This continued partnership helps create real opportunities for local entrepreneurs—people with ideas, passion, and deep roots in our city. Through BizLabs, initiatives like bringing pop‑up shops to downtown storefronts give business owners a chance to be seen, test their vision, and build something lasting that strengthens our local economy.”

Advancing Housing Stability Across Metro Atlanta

A $2.25 million grant to the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta will support efforts to stabilize housing and expand access to opportunity for residents across metro Atlanta.

In a region where housing costs continue to outpace wages, this funding will address some of the most persistent barriers to long-term stability.

The Community Foundation has helped mobilize more than $220 million in investment and support the creation or preservation of over 6,000 homes across the region—working with partners to address housing challenges at scale.

This investment from Wells Fargo will build on that work by helping resolve tangled title issues, unlocking capital for critical home repairs, supporting emerging developers, and strengthening strategies to preserve affordable housing.

“Across metro Atlanta, too many families are at risk of losing the homes they’ve worked hard to build—not because they lack commitment, but because of legal, financial, and systemic barriers,” said Frank Fernandez, President & CEO of the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta. “This investment helps remove those barriers—so people can stay in their homes, make needed repairs, and pass on what they’ve built. As the region’s philanthropic center of gravity, we’re working alongside partners to turn housing stability into something families can count on—and a foundation for stronger, more equitable communities.”

About Invest Atlanta 

Invest Atlanta is the official economic development authority for the City of Atlanta. Its mission is to shape the city’s future by growing jobs and driving neighborhood investment, elevating the city’s global competitiveness, and advancing development and innovation, that uplifts all residents and businesses.

About Community Foundation of Greater Atlanta

The Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta is the region’s philanthropic center of gravity, inspiring and leading Atlanta toward equity and shared prosperity for all. Neighbor to neighbor and heart to heart, we’re building a better ATL through partnership with local non-profits, civic leaders, financial advisors, and generous donors throughout the community. A fixture since 1951, CFGA shepherds more than $1.8 billion in assets and deployed over $250 million in grants and impact investments in 2025 to thousands of non-profit partners working to realize Atlanta’s full potential.
