PwC Charitable Foundation, Inc.
PwC Charitable Foundation provides financial support in times of need – both to the people of PwC and their immediate families and to nonprofit organizations that support and promote humanitarianism and education. Our vision is to engage the people of PwC in a way that creates meaningful connections to the causes we support and a lasting legacy.
Working in the community
We invest in our communities because it is the right thing to do. Reinvesting in the sustainability of our local cities is meaningful not only to those directly impacted, but also to our people.

Project Make [it] count
This unique program provides seed money to selected staff to implement a local community project of their choice. Since its launch in 2009, we have funded over 60 projects and our people have demonstrated that all it takes is a little money and a little time to make a big difference.
Supporting youth education
As a professional services firm, we have skills and knowledge that we can leverage to increase proficiency in math and financial literacy and better prepare youth to make responsible decisions, be productive citizens, and contribute to a healthier economy. These students are our future leaders, not just at PwC, but in the broader business community.
We have a social obligation to provide intellectual, physical, and financial support to our communities. On a more personal level, our people care about the communities in which they live and work, and this culture is a distinctive point of pride at PwC.
As an organization, we recognize that we have a social obligation to provide intellectual, physical, and financial support to our communities. On a more personal level, our people care about the communities in which they live and work, and this culture is a distinctive point of pride at PwC.
Our goal is to inspire 100% of our people to embrace our giving culture by participating in one or more of our charitable activities, whether that be through hands-on or skills-based volunteering or through financial means. By proactively connecting our workforce to volunteering opportunities based on their skills, interests, and the needs of their local markets, we give them the tools they need to make a meaningful impact. And when we focus our collective efforts on our three cause areas of youth education, climate change, and social inclusion we further amplify that impact.
