Advance America strengthens communities through national, regional and local grant-making programs and initiatives. Here you will find news about our latest initiatives and community outreach announcements, and the impact they have in local communities around the country.

Thousands of hardworking Americans who perform essential jobs in our communities —teachers, police officers, bus drivers—sometimes find themselves struggling to make ends meet between paychecks. The steady demand for short-term credit options like payday advances reflect the financial pressures that our customers face every day. Advance America offers them a tool to manage their money without affecting their credit rating, while covering cash shortfalls with dignity and privacy. We seek to foster healthy personal financial choices, and strongly support efforts to educate consumers about making sound short and long-term decisions related to their money.
