Through the Equifax Foundation, we help people live their financial best by supporting the financial wellbeing of the communities in which we live and work. We do this by leveraging our world class data and analytics solutions together with foundation resources in pursuit of building economically resilient communities.
Our Values in Action
In 2020, the Equifax Foundation gave nearly $1.7 million in direct grants and $840,000 in matching gifts to organizations of our employees’ choosing.

We believe that credit building can be a tool for tackling income inequality and decreasing the racial wealth gap. We are proud to have helped thousands of our neighbors through our multi-year partnerships with Greater Atlanta Builds Credit and St. Louis Builds Credit.

In addition to our significant relationships with Invest America, MoCaFi, Prosperity Connection, Quest Communities, the Tower Grove Neighborhood CDC and the Westside Future Fund, Equifax has heavily invested in the On the Rise Financial Center. Through On the Rise, we are helping people in the Atlanta area earn economic independence through free financial coaching, homebuyer education and money management tools.
