We work to advance a more inclusive economy by offering impactful solutions and opportunities that expand financial access, increase market reach and empower communities to thrive.•We partner with and provide solutions for community banks, including working with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Agent Mentor-Protégé Program. We deploy our longstanding knowledge and insight to help these market participants remain competitive and succeed in the financial system. In 2024, we published the first Voice of Community Banks Survey to learn more about these banks’ top challenges and needs for today and into the future.•In 2024, we were selected to serve as the financial agent for the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Direct Express program. Through this program, we will help extend real-time payments and open banking solutions to underbanked and unbanked communities in the U.S.•We serve as a founding firm for the Advancing Communities Together Deposit Program, which launched in 2024 to help channel vital funding to banks serving low-income and minority communities while also ensuring all deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance. At launch, the program deposited $35 million through four major financial firms, including BNY, Blackstone, Warburg Pincus, and IntraFi.•Through our affiliated liquidity manager firm Dreyfus, we support Howard University’s GRACE Grant by making an annual donation of 10% of the net revenue of a new share class, BOLD Future, which was launched in 2024. This donation supports a dedicated scholarship within the GRACE Grant.•Since 2019, our longstanding partnership with the City University of New York (“CUNY”) has aimed to help grow high-performing talent and create opportunities throughout the city. Our work together has provided financial support to achieving, low-income students. In 2024, we played a role in the expansion of the CUNY Inclusive Economy Initiative by helping recruit talent across CUNY campuses, providing early exposure to career paths through skills training and internships.For additional information on the oversight responsibilities of the standing committees of the Board, including the CGNSR Committee and the HRC Committee, see “Committees and Committee Charters” beginning on page 38.
