Championing those who serve others

It’s often the case that the people who come to the Foundation’s People Who Care Fund for assistance are themselves the helpers in their family. That was the situation with a PwC US manager who applied for assistance as she worked to arrange care for her elderly parents as well as her husband who had recently been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was unable to work. She had leveraged PwC’s leave options and taken time to support her family, putting her project management skills to work on their behalf. But the costs of care were a problem she couldn’t solve on her own.

She said, “This assistance provided us with tremendous relief financially and emotionally during a difficult time. We are so grateful for your support. Thank you for your help through this process.”

The People Who Care Fund was able to help with her husband’s mounting medical bills, which had become too much for the family to manage on their own. A grant gave them some breathing room and let them stay focused on the most important things, getting him as healthy as possible and spending time together as a family.

Making an impact where you work

Comprised of active PwC employees, the Foundation Staff Council collaborates with the Foundation to help innovate around ways of elevating data-driven impact and raise internal and external awareness of the Foundation’s work.

Through his work with the Council over the past two years, Edward integrates his background in impact investing with his passion for societal change.

“Being part of the PwC Foundation Staff Council has been a great opportunity to drive meaningful impact at PwC. I'm proud to contribute to a mission that works toward measurable outcomes, giving individuals and communities the resources and support they need to thrive.” - Edward Hill

Celebrating heritage by giving back

The PwC Foundation proudly celebrates the unique backgrounds that shape the PwC community. As part of PwC’s heritage and recognition month celebrations, the Foundation teamed up with the PwC US Inclusion Networks, which play an integral role in fostering PwC’s culture of belonging, to provide over $200,000 in FY24 to organizations leading meaningful change in their communities.

These Inclusion Networks recognize and celebrate the diverse heritage and cultural events within PwC, where our people engage in and celebrate the rich diversity of the PwC people. During these celebrations PwCers can vote for nonprofit organizations, selected by the Inclusion Networks in collaboration with the Foundation, to receive a grant from the Foundation. This initiative exemplifies the ways the Foundation works with stakeholders across PwC to promote inclusion, lift up communities and further strengthen the overall culture of belonging at PwC.
