Description
The PNC Foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations with a primary focus on enhancing early childhood education (especially for children from birth to age five) and advancing economic and community development initiatives. Grantmaking is targeted toward programs that improve school readiness, support educator development, engage families and communities in early learning, expand affordable housing, bolster small businesses, and foster neighborhood revitalization—particularly for low- and moderate-income populations. The Foundation’s signature "Grow Up Great" initiative emphasizes innovative, high-impact early learning opportunities in eligible communities.
