PNC Grow Up Great Grant

The PNC Foundation offers grant opportunities for organizations that focus on strengthening and enriching communities. Their priority is to form partnerships with community-based nonprofit organizations to enhance educational opportunities, with a specific emphasis on early childhood education, and promote economic development initiatives. One of their signature programs is PNC Grow Up Great, a $500 million initiative that aims to prepare children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life. As part of this program, the PNC Foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations that work to improve school readiness in areas such as vocabulary development, social-emotional learning, math, science, and the arts. Eligible organizations must support early education initiatives for children from birth to age five, serve a majority of children from low- to moderate-income families, and adhere to other standard PNC Foundation guidelines. In addition to early childhood education, the PNC Foundation also supports various other areas such as economic development, affordable housing, community development, community services, arts and culture, and revitalization of low- and moderate-income areas. Organizations must have an appropriate tax-exempt designation and operate in communities where PNC has a significant presence.
