The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community has come a long way in the last 25 years, and so has our commitment. In 1987, Wells Fargo added sexual orientation to our non-discrimination policy. Since then, we've contributed to LGBT organizations, lent our support to anti-bullying efforts, and continued to foster a culture of equality both in the workplace and the community at large.

* Helped GLSEN distribute 15,000 Safe Space Kits to schools nationally
* Founding Corporate Partner of the National Gay Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) and the first financial services company to lend support
In the workplace
* Our PRIDE Team Member Network has 37 chapters and 3,328 members across the company

In your lives
