The Regions Community Development Corporation was formed to provide technical assistance to nonprofit organizations and expand homeownership and financial literacy programs, as well as to aid in affordable housing, neighborhood revitalization, and community and economic development initiatives. The support that we provide through our CDC shows our dedication and commitment to our communities and the service hours provided by our associates helps to empower the community organizations to further their mission.
What A Difference A Day Makes is an associates volunteer program established as part of our journey down the road to a better life. Associates are given the opportunity to make life better by giving back to the communities where they work and live. Through this program, each associate is allowed to take one day per year, with pay, to volunteer in the community.
Regions is also marking the importance of financial literacy through its national sponsorship of Community Service 2008, a program by which member companies of The Financial Services Roundtable have committed to helping their communities in hundreds of cities across the United States. In addition, Regions is providing the Scholars and Dollars Financial Literacy Kits, which were created for Regions associates to take into schools and teach students banking basics and financial responsibility.
