Our purpose is to inspire and build better lives and communities.

We believe every person and moment matters, and everyone should have an equal opportunity to thrive— so we’re excited to celebrate Black achievement and actively support opportunities to further elevate the Black community.

In 2021, we developed the Grow, Recruit, and Accelerate Development (GRAD) program to open senior-level pathways for our high-performing, diverse teammates. The goal? To accelerate career mobility and create a robust community of diverse senior leaders at Truist. All GRAD participants receive leadership training, as well as oneon-one career coaching and are reimbursed for obtaining graduate-level degrees while employed with Truist.

We’ve also elevated our commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through diverse talent recruitment, student scholarships, infrastructure investments, sponsorships, financial literacy education, networking events, and more.

To drive economic empowerment across the Black community, we’re an anchor investor in the Mission-Driven Bank Fund. We want to help close the racial wealth gap by bolstering the support of both minority depository institutions (MDIs) and community development financial institutions (CDFIs), which serve lower income, minority, and rural communities that do not always meet loan criteria across other banks.

And there is much more—our commitment to uplifting the Black community is unwavering and ongoing. To learn more about our drive to make a positive impact, visit truist.com/DEI.
