Advanta's Board of Directors established the Advanta Foundation in 1990. During the past decades, Advanta has become one of the area’s most active, visible and respected corporate citizens, supporting a wide range of organizations with a focus on the areas of community development, education, health and human services and the arts. Priority is given to those areas where our employees live and work: eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, New Castle County, DE and Salt Lake City, Utah.
