In honor of Black History Month this February, Nicole Martin Hill, VP, Product & Sales Risk Advisory, reflects on what this observance means to her. “Black History Month is such an exciting time to celebrate and recognize the amazing achievements of African Americans and their contributions to our society. It is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the strength and resilience of the Black community and learn about the incredible innovators who have shaped our history. I love sharing this journey with my two daughters, teaching them about remarkable African Americans and discovering historical sites around the world all year long.”
When asked how she spends this time, Nicole shared, “One of my favorite traditions during this month is curling up with a good book and finding a quote to share. This year, I am inspired by Mae Jemison, the first African American female astronaut, who said, ‘I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They’re really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action.’ This message is so powerful during Black History Month—it reminds us to tackle those obstacles and go after our dreams, both personally and professionally!”

The Atlanta Asian Heritage BRG board members, employees and their families came together in August to show their solidarity and compassion in action at the Foster Care Support Foundation in Roswell, GA. This organization touts an illustrious history that spans more than two decades – a testament to its unwavering dedication to fostering the well-being of foster and relative care families across Georgia. They serve the Georgia Division of Family & Children Services-managed foster homes and private agency care, as well as partnering with other organizations to broaden impact.
Prior to the event, U.S. Bank and Elavon volunteers pitched in by donating clothes and funds collected from a lemonade stand organized by employees’ children. During the event, volunteers rolled up their sleeves to reorganize the foundation's space to make it easier for those seeking assistance to find clothing and essentials. Even the youngest volunteers played an integral role, by aiding in packing clothing, toys, and repairing bicycles—a transformative endeavor that holds significant value for families with foster children. Beyond clothing provisions, the foundation extends its impact by providing vital infant equipment and toys, contributing profoundly to the lives of the children it serves.
This collective volunteering effort showcases the incredible potential of a community coming together for a shared purpose. It's not just about the foundation's commitment to its mission—it shows the enduring power of people's compassion and the tangible change they can create when they work together. We continually strive to support the communities where we live, work and play. Through our Community Possible giving platform, we invest our time, resources, and passion in economic development by supporting efforts to create stable jobs, better homes and vibrant communities.
Our goal is to become an industry leader by providing access to resources, capital, exposure, information, education, and guidance to communities around the globe. In February 2021, we launched U.S. Bank Access Commitment™, a long-term approach bringing together the strengths of U.S. Bancorp Community Development Corporation, corporate social responsibility and our business lines to help build wealth while redefining how we serve our communities and provide more opportunities for our employees.
