Q&A with Sally McCrady Director of Community Affairs at PNC Financial Services Group
From the 2016 PNC CSR Report
Q: How has PNC’s strong support of early childhood education been received by educators and nonprofit organizations that are active in early childhood education?
A: It has been amazingly well-received. When we started the program, we thought the grants would be the most important component of the program. While the money is important, the Advisory Council told us that it was our corporate voice that could really make an impact on the issue of early childhood education. They felt that because we were an unexpected advocate for early education, people would listen to us a bit differently. We’ve taken this insight very seriously, promoting early education as an economic and workforce development tool, and have received an incredibly positive response from educators and nonprofits. At the end of the day, our goal is to give children the best start to their education so that they not only grow up, but grow up great!
