Empowering those who
strengthen our communities.

At Fifth Third, there’s nothing we love more than helping communities thrive—but we know we aren’t alone. That’s why we created Empowering Community Leaders. It provides comprehensive capacity building programs that are tailored to nonprofit organizations. Through these programs, community leaders will gain the resources and skills necessary to grow their knowledge and their impact.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Greater Capacity for
organizational growth

When nonprofit organizations have the resources they need to succeed, the benefits become exponential. It means more effective programs that better serve the community, which leads to greater success, more demand, and the ability to hire and onboard more new employees.

Greater knowledge for
community leaders

Empowering Community Leaders offers critical lessons in leadership development, technical skills and specialized certifications. Through this focused curriculum, we help support the goals of executive leadership, staff and boards of nonprofit organizations.

Greater opportunities for
bigger impacts.

Investing in your organization’s future leaders does more than build greater capabilities—it also builds greater possibilities. For individuals, nonprofits, and the communities we all share.
