Addressing root causes to build community resilience
We’re leaning into our passionate community of solvers, firm resources and external relationships to address the widening economic disparities that are exacerbating gaps in education and across society. These longstanding challenges are increasing in complexity and require multidimensional approaches, so we’re executing an interconnected strategy to make meaningful progress for our communities and future.

Leveraging pathways to make a meaningful impact
PwC summer interns in AC Bangalore volunteered at an organization serving people with disabilities to boost the participants’ confidence and enhance their chances of securing employment.
Enabling employment through empowerment
The existence of equitable pathways to stable, living wage jobs with quality benefits is critical to helping to close opportunity and employment gaps in society, and we believe access to these opportunities should be a right for everyone, not a privilege.

mitment to racial equity
Responding to the Turkey and Syria earthquakes, our people collectively raised $52,000 through seven crowdfunders, with our Inter-Belief and Pan Asian Community Inclusion Networks playing a pivotal role in raising awareness and donations. Our firm also established a humanitarian aid cause portfolio that engaged over 472 donors, raising $65,000. The Charitable Foundation provided an initial $300,000 grant in disaster relief and a subsequent $200,000 grant, both aimed at aiding recovery efforts, including the reconstruction of a school.
