Banks and financial institutions
Specific activities, documented clearly.
Certain activities may align with community-development priorities involving low-to-moderate-income communities, workforce development, financial capability, education, or job preparation.
Actual CRA consideration depends on the activity, beneficiaries, geography, documentation, and the bank’s applicable regulatory framework. The Institute does not make a regulatory determination.
A practical starting point
Bring a real challenge.
An employer or community organization can define a useful assignment. Students can research, develop, present, and defend their work with appropriate adult guidance.
