Community & Impact

Sep 2, 2026

On September 2, we joined the LA Sparks at Scholarship Prep South Bay in Wilmington for a back-to-school afternoon with students, families, and staff, and to celebrate the unveiling of a new refurbished basketball court for the school. The day included a pep rally, a ribbon-cutting, a carnival with school supplies and a hands-on budgeting activity using “Al-bills”, and a basketball clinic with the Sparks. Down the road, the school will also be using some of the leftover funds from our refurbishment to upgrade their tech center equipment. We also shared one more surprise during the event: Albert is committing $130,000 over four years to Scholarship Prep South Bay. The commitment allows flexibility for the school to use the funding where it’s needed most as those needs change over time. At Albert, we want money to feel handled. We wanted this work to give the Scholarship Prep South Bay community some of that same feeling: a few concrete needs taken care of now, plus support they can use for whatever comes next, so students, families and staff can focus on the year ahead. Our mission is to help people make smart financial decisions, which starts with education. Scholarship Prep South Bay is one of three school communities we’re supporting this back-to-school season, alongside schools in Atlanta and Dallas. — Trademarks and logos are the property of their respective owners and do not represent endorsements of any kind.

Earlier this summer, we partnered with the Dallas Wings to remodel the teachers’ lounge at Arturo Salazar Elementary. Then on August 6, we returned to celebrate staff with the help of Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale with a surprise lunch — and to share that Albert is committing $130,000 over four years to Arturo Salazar Elementary. The donation gives the school flexibility to use the funds where they’re needed most, and as their needs change over time. At Albert, we want money to feel handled. We wanted this work to give the school community some of that same feeling: a few concrete needs taken care of now, plus support they can use for whatever comes next, so schools and families can focus on what matters most.

On August 4, we joined the Atlanta Dream at Global Village Project in Decatur, a school serving recently arrived refugee and immigrant girls, to celebrate the start of the school year. Students played basketball, picked out real school supplies through a hands-on budgeting activity using “Al-bills”, and enjoyed bubble tea together. We supported the school with new equipment for the school’s tech center, and then shared a special surprise: Albert is committing $130,000 over four years to Global Village Project, with flexibility for the school to use the funding on what its students and teachers need most as those needs come up. Albert is built around making money feel handled. We wanted to bring some of that same feeling to the Global Village Project community — a few concrete needs taken care of now, and flexible support for whatever comes up next, so staff, families, and students can focus on what matters most.

Albert loves Los Angeles, and we’re proud to give back to the community, especially in our own backyard. That’s why we collaborated with the Los Angeles Sparks to unveil a brand new basketball court at KIPP Compton Upper School. The newly designed multipurpose court represents more than a physical transformation — but a renewed commitment to youth, equity and community in South Los Angeles. We were also proud to clear the school’s sports equipment wishlist — donating basketballs, shooting machines, disc cones, and everything else kids need to enjoy the new court. It mattered to us to be ‘all over it’ so the kids could focus on play. The court’s unveiling brought together civic leaders, educators, students, and WNBA players (including Dearica Hamby), and it will serve students, staff and the surrounding community as a hub for recreation, physical education, and community programming. This is the first of several community courts Albert plans to invest in over the next several years in collaboration with the Sparks as the team’s official financial partner. We’re thrilled to further our investment in safer play environments for the next generation and the entire greater Los Angeles community. Last year kicked off our multiyear sponsorship as the Official Jersey Patch partner of the Los Angeles Sparks. Teaming up just made sense. As an L.A.-based company, we’re committed to giving back to the city we call home. Over the next few years you’ll see us on Sparks jerseys, in the stadium, on broadcast, social, and off the court as we continue to partner together on meaningful community work.
