In 2019, Truist Bank entered into a Community Benefits Plan under which Truist bank will lend or invest $60 billion to low and moderate-income (LMI) borrowers and in LMI communities over a three-year period from 2020 through 2022.

The Friends of African Union (FAU), The African Diaspora Directorate (AfiDiDi), and the Black Male Community Council of Philadelphia (BMCC) have partnered with Qme Business Solutions Ecosystem (Qmespotlight.com) to help lead the Philadelphia charge to organize, unify, and galvanize people of African Descent and bring our community development (CD) projects and small business funding requests as part of the Truist Community Benefits Plan (CBP). This is a 3-year agreement and so the clock is ticking.
