Wells
Wells Fargo values the commitment to the community in which we work
and live through volunteering with non-profits. Each year, the company
supplements the volunteer effort of a select number of team members through the
Volunteer Service Award. The Volunteer Service Award gives team members the
chance to win money
for the nonprofit organization or K-12 school where they volunteer. Community
Support Programs has 161 awards available with a total of $300,000 available
for the winners' agencies or schools.
How are selections made?
The Volunteer Service Award selection committee chooses winners based on
nominee's personal dedication, effectiveness of their work, amount of personal
time volunteered and the overall impact on their community.
Are there restrictions to what agencies qualify?
Yes. The organization or school must be designated a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit by the IRS or a nonprofit organization (NPO)
by the Canadian Customs and Revenue Agency(CCRA).
Organizations or schools designated nonprofit by local or state tax
authorities, but not by the IRS or CCRA are not
eligible. IRS nonprofit designations such as 501(c)(4)
or 501(c)(6) are not eligible. In addition, schools need to be accredited or certified
by the state.
