We huff and puff about our funders, especially the corporate ones. They can be opaque and inaccessible. Many don’t even disclose their funding interests. In the spirit of year-end optimism, get to know the Truist Foundation. This philanthropy reflects the pandemic and racial reckoning that characterized its 2020 founding, after two regional banks merged to become Truist Financial Corporation. It blends its parent’s economic development core with the input of would-be grantees and a commitment to undeserved communities, to the tune of over $170 million to date.
