Community Benefits

We believe in being a meaningful part of the communities we serve. That’s why working to strengthen and serve our communities is central to our business every day.

ADD IN

Our commitment to improving outcomes for communities continues to guide our economic empowerment efforts. We firmly believe that this work must be responsive to the needs of the communities we serve and implemented in collaboration with strategic partners. 

Launched in January 2022 and concluding in December 2025, PNC’s $88 billion Community Benefits Plan (CBP) drives our commitment to economic empowerment and financial inclusion.

PNC Foundation

For decades, we have provided resources to seed ideas, foster development initiatives and encourage leadership in nonprofit organizations where imagination and determination are at work enhancing people's lives everyday.

The PNC Foundation's priority is to form partnerships with community-based nonprofit organizations in order to enhance educational opportunities, with an emphasis on early childhood education, and to promote the growth of communities through economic development initiatives.

High-quality early childhood education is the very foundation of a bright future for individuals and society at large. We recognize the significant role educators, caregivers and parents play in early childhood education. That’s why we’re committed to supporting educators and caregivers in giving children the opportunity to Grow Up Great.  

Since 2004, we’ve supported early childhood education through our $500 million bilingual initiative, PNC Grow Up Great®. Our goal is to help prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and in life, with particular emphasis on underserved communities. Through a comprehensive approach of grant funding, employee volunteerism, and awareness and advocacy efforts, PNC Grow Up Great supports families, educators and community partners in providing innovative opportunities that enhance learning and development for our youngest community members, setting a path for success that lasts a lifetime.
