The PNC Foundation and DonorsChoose.org have joined together to
help preschool teachers obtain more classroom resources through
DonorsChoose.org's education funding platform.
Our work with DonorsChoose.org reflects our commitment to helping children get a strong start in life. This program will directly improve pre-K teachers’ ability to help more students reach their full potential and, through their successes, will strengthen the communities we serve.

PNC Grow Up Great has established innovative school readiness programs that emphasize vocabulary as preschoolers learn math, science, the arts and financial education.
Our work is guided by some of the nation's most highly respected early childhood experts and nonprofit organizations.
Designed for teachers to use flexibly with existing curricula, we collaborated with our grant partners to develop resources and lessons to enhance hands-on learning for young children.
