Charles Schwab has been named a Civic 50 honoree, making it one
of the top 50 most community-minded companies in the country
according to Points of Light, the world’s largest organization
dedicated to increasing volunteering.
For more than a decade, The Civic 50 has served as the national
standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how leading
companies are driving social impact, corporate citizenship, and
community engagement to the core of their business. This
comprehensive survey for companies with annual revenues of at least
$1 billion evaluates the scale, sophistication and impact of their
employee volunteering, community engagement and corporate
philanthropy work.
“Schwab is committed to helping people achieve brighter futures
by investing in financial education and supporting the communities
where our clients and employees live and work,” said Schwab
President and CEO Rick Wurster. “It is an honor to be recognized
again by Points of Light for our efforts to empower communities and
help more Americans take control of their financial lives.”
Schwab’s focus on financial education is rooted in the belief
that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve financial
well-being. Schwab helps to level the economic playing field and
close the financial education gap through nonprofit partnerships
and grants, trained employee volunteers, and free financial
education content for kids through adults, helping people build the
practical money habits needed over a lifetime. In addition to
financial literacy, Schwab employees volunteer thousands of hours
annually through Schwab Volunteer Week, skills-based volunteerism
programs, and other employee-driven volunteer initiatives that
benefit nonprofits, schools, and communities nationwide. Schwab
also provides financial, people, and intellectual resources in
support of local causes that are responsive to community needs and
reflective of employees' interests.
In 2024, Charles Schwab granted $21.3 million to nonprofits
nationwide, including $2.5 million for employee matching gifts,
while 12,300 employees volunteered 160,000 hours in service to
their local communities through Schwab's paid time to volunteer
program.
“In an ever-evolving landscape, companies are looking to ensure
that they can meet the needs of their communities, customers, and
stakeholders,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO, Points
of Light. “Companies like Charles Schwab are leading the way in
showing how social impact benefits their employee’s well-being,
strengthens the communities where they do business, and brings
value and meaning to their work. Their efforts provide a model for
others looking to bring the benefits of volunteering and social
impact to their workforce and they’re extremely deserving of this
recognition.”
The Civic 50 survey is administered by True Impact, and the
results are analyzed by VeraWorks. The survey instrument consists
of quantitative and multiple-choice questions that inform the
scoring process. The Civic 50 is the only survey and ranking system
that exclusively measures corporate community engagement.
