The People & Partners Behind Our Work
Our work is guided by some of the nation's most highly respected early childhood experts and nonprofit organizations
Corporate Leadership
With support from PNC’s executive management, PNC Grow Up Great® is directed by Sally McCrady, director of Community Affairs and Chair and President, PNC Foundation.
A cross-functional team of PNC employees from different areas of the company work together with early childhood experts to bring Grow Up Great to life.
Dedicated Employees
Employee volunteerism is integral to our program's success.
Our progressive employee policy offers:
40
Hours of Paid Time Off
Per full-time employee, each year, to engage in volunteerism
On April 4, 2017, we introduced our first company-wide "Great Day" event across all of our corporate offices and retail branches. Hands-on volunteer opportunities were offered for PNC employees – from writing teacher 'Thank You' cards, to handmade backpacks and building tricycles – all easy to accomplish within a normal workday. The first annual event was a success with over 12,800 employees participating, 32,000 volunteer hours recorded and a company-wide book drive with nearly 50,000 books donated.
Momentum continued to build for Great Day 2018 with even more volunteers getting involved. In 2019, we celebrated the 15th anniversary of Grow Up Great with “Great Month”. More than 14,000 volunteers dedicated 39,000 hours to various volunteer opportunities. Additionally, PNC customers were invited to join the Great Big Book Drive, resulting in 114,000 books donated locally.
