Giving back. Paying forward.
If you watched the Twin Towers crumble and cried, or if you've lost a loved one to cancer and felt your heart break, or smiled as a well-deserving person got a home and a second chance, we know how you feel. We've been there too. And we know our responsibility as a company wouldn't be complete if we overlooked these human needs.
"Compass has made a conscious decision to give back. We donate money, talent, volunteers, time, and resources. We truly make a difference in our communities," says Vanessa.
A powerful combination — TEAMCompass, Compass Charity, and Compass Corporate Giving.
"TEAMCompass is a group of employee volunteers. They provide hands-on help to the community. From time to time, they also plan fun events for employees and their families."
"Many employees of Compass partner with their fellow employees in giving a portion of their salaries to Compass Charity. It's amazing to see how my contribution, which individually may not add up to much, collectively makes such a huge impact on the community."
"Compass Bank, as a corporation, contributes up to 1% of the company's pre-tax annual income to charitable initiatives."
We work together.
"After September 11th, all three areas came together, and by partnering with our customers, we were able to give more than $2 million dollars to the Red Cross. Our employees wanted to help, and Compass responded — as we always do."
"To know Compass is committed to making a difference in the community makes you feel proud to work here. It speaks to the integrity of the company. Actions speak louder than words, and employees truly believe Compass cares."
