Truist Cares

Truist is committed to caring for communities when disasters strike. 

In 2020, Truist Financial Corporation announced its first Truist Cares initiative, a $50 million philanthropic pledge to help rebuild communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Truist Cares was a cooperative effort between Truist Financial Corporation, Truist Foundation, Inc., and Truist Charitable Fund to provide communities, organizations and individuals disaster relief and assistance during the COVID-19 crisis.

In 2024, Truist Cares for Western North Carolina - a three-year, $725 million initiative - was announced following the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene in the region.
