Committed to Our Community

Advanta takes its responsibility as a corporate citizen seriously.

In addition, each year Advanta matches dollar-for-dollar the gifts of employees to charitable organizations and colleges and universities through its Matching Gifts Program.

Community and Sponsorships

The Advanta Foundation

Advanta's business focus is on helping small businesses and business professionals get the credit they deserve and the financing they need to thrive and grow. But to us, success means more. True success also includes helping the community to thrive and grow. It means feeding the community's roots through urban renewal and affordable housing projects, watering its spirit with support for the arts, and strengthening the body through health and human services initiatives as well as athletic programs for underprivileged children and the disabled. Priority is given to those communities where our employees live and work: eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, New Castle County, Delaware and Salt Lake County, Utah.

For more information about The Advanta Foundation, please contact Karen Mullin at kmullin@advanta.com. On May 11, 2006, Advanta Chairman and CEO Dennis Alter announced The Advanta Small Arts Support Program.
