PNC Continues to Inspire Great Futures

Spring is a time when all of our planting and watering finally pays off, yielding beautiful blooming flowers. This simple philosophy is the same one we apply to PNC’s long-standing corporate philanthropy focus of early childhood education.

This year, in the early days of spring, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of PNC Grow Up Great, a bilingual initiative to help children from birth through age 5 prepare for success in school and in life. A lot has changed in 15 years but one thing has remained the same – our focus and commitment to improving access to quality early childhood education.
