Find out how the Truist Foundation is co-creating programs, building the body of evidence, and how they are convening national non-profits in the US and also bringing the public sector and the corporate space into the field to drive forward positive systemic change. The Trusit Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Truist Financial Corporation –  the 6th largest bank in the USA and a purpose-driven financial institution committed to ensuring communities have an equal opportunity to thrive. Lynette has been at Truist for her entire career, spanning more than 30 years.
