Cash America is a socially conscious company that’s committed to the people and the neighborhoods in which we live and work. We provide a comprehensive giving program and strive to support as many organizations that complement our core purpose as we can. In addition, we are active members of several organizations that establish and maintain best practices for corporate citizenship.
Knowing that we do not have the means to support every worthwhile cause monetarily, we also give our time, energy and resources whenever possible through volunteer activities like welcoming home our troops, internal charitable fundraisers and more. These activities demonstrate our core values—the foundation of our company and our people.
