Associated Bank Foundation Donating $125,000 to Fox Valley Area Storm Relief Efforts

Green Bay, Wis., July 30, 2026 - Associated Banc-Corp (NYSE: ASB) today announced its foundation is donating $125,000 to support local recovery and relief efforts in response to the devastating storms that impacted Menasha and communities across the Fox Valley on July 27, 2026.

As Wisconsin's largest bank holding company, Associated Bank has served communities across the state for more than 165 years. With colleagues, customers and their families living and working throughout Northeast Wisconsin, the bank is stepping forward to help communities begin the recovery process.

The Associated Bank Foundation is donating to the Community Response Fund 2026 Tornado Relief, a partnership between The Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region, United Way Fox Cities and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, where funds will support immediate and long-term storm recovery through the foundation's community response efforts. In addition, the foundation is also donating to the American Red Cross, who has established an emergency shelter in Menasha and are distributing emergency supplies.

"When our communities face hardship, we stand alongside them," said Andy Harmening, president and CEO of Associated Bank. "The Fox Valley is home to many of our colleagues, customers and neighbors, and we're committed to helping families and communities recover. We have been rooted in Wisconsin for generations, and supporting our communities in times like these is simply part of who we are."

In addition to the financial contribution, Associated Bank throughout Northeast Wisconsin - spanning from Brown County to Fond Du Lac - are hosting a Stock the Box donation drive to collect essential supplies for those affected by the storms. All donated items will benefit the Menasha Health Department to assist local families recovering from storm damage. The drive will be in place for the next two weeks.

The most-needed items include:

• Non-perishable food
• Baby supplies, including diapers, wipes and formula
• Pet food and pet care supplies
• Cleaning supplies
• Tarps and other basic recovery materials

Donations can be dropped off at participating Associated Bank locations during regular business hours.

"Recovery takes an entire community," said Harmening. "We hope these contributions, both financial and through the generosity of our colleagues, customers and neighbors, help provide meaningful support to those working to rebuild."
