Make [giving] count

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. This is a distinctive point of pride at PwC—and it’s a direct result of generosity of our people and their caring spirit. While we impact many worthwhile causes, our primary focus is supporting youth education, which provides growth opportunities for children, advances future leaders and further develops the base of professionals who will be equipped to deal with an increasingly complex marketplace.

Doing the right thing is one reason why we invest in community outreach; we also do it to develop our people, providing meaningful experiences for our partners and staff to apply and expand their skills, work in diverse teams, and learn about leadership. Expanding our people’s civic leadership skills is so important that the firm provides paid time off for staff to volunteer. Beyond giving unlimited paid time off to volunteer in firm-sponsored volunteer initiatives, we also provide staff with 10 hours of paid time off to volunteer at the organizations of their choice. Leveraging the collective power of our 30,000 partners and staff, we are making a lasting impact in our communities. In FY10, including our Summer of Community Service, our people donated almost 129,000 hours during the work day, a value of approximately $26.6 million.
