Wells Fargo Donates $300,000 to OneOrlando Fund

Commitment will go toward victim and community recovery

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) announced today a $300,000 donation to
the OneOrlando
fund, set up by the City of Orlando to address the needs of victims and
the community in the wake of the Pulse nightclub tragedy.

“All of us at Wells Fargo are devastated by the tragedy at Pulse
nightclub and the senseless act of violence that has impacted so many,
particularly those in the LGBT and Hispanic communities,” said Derek
Jones, Central Florida region president. “As an employer who celebrates
diversity and inclusion daily, we are hopeful our donation will help and
support those affected and aid in the city’s recovery.”

The OneOrlando Fund will be administered by the Central
Florida Foundation
(CFF), a 22-year-old organization that serves as
home for more than 400 charitable funds. The CFF manages and invests
nonprofit directed funding to help the local community and nonprofits.
It will guide funds to nonprofits to support the victims and families of
this tragedy, as well to the LGBTQ, Hispanic, faith, and other affected
communities. Funds will also be directed to other needs that may arise
but cannot yet be anticipated. The OneOrlando Fund is a project of
Strengthen Orlando, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit corporation created for
the purpose of starting and supporting projects to strengthen the
Orlando community.

“Through this community-wide effort, the victims’ families and friends
will receive the support they need to help them begin the healing
process,” Jones added. “As a Central Florida team, we know there will be
more to do in the coming months, and Wells Fargo stands ready to work
together and help our Orlando community.”
