Our spirit of service

Our spirit of service is driven by our people and championed enthusiastically across Schwab. We support this spirit by offering every employee eight hours of paid time off each year to volunteer in their community. In 2019, our employees volunteered over 48,000 hours to local nonprofits and organizations.

Leading the charge is a group of 128 Schwab Community Ambassadors across all major offices and branches. They’re local and on the ground to focus our effort where it will do the most good. Ambassadors identify community needs, set goals, and coordinate local charitable events and grants. Collectively, they give roughly 5,000 hours of volunteer service every year.

Every year, our culture of service reaches its crescendo during Schwab Volunteer Week, when Schwab employees and executives work side by side in service projects that help local and national nonprofit organizations. The event started in 2003 as a single day of volunteering with a few dozen nonprofits in a handful of cities. Now it has become a week-long effort, a point of pride for thousands of employees working to make a difference with hundreds of organizations in cities across the country.

Since 2010, Charles Schwab Foundation has donated over $37 million in direct grants to organizations like Mobile Loaves and Fishes, led by local Austin hero Alan Graham, who shares our commitment to building a better future in our local communities.

Applying our skills to help propel nonprofits

Our Pro Bono Challenge is a skills-based flash consulting event that enables Schwab employees to focus their time, talents, and expertise to help local nonprofit organizations expand their impact in our communities.

Cross-functional teams of employees provide consulting sessions to help participating nonprofits solve business and operational challenges. Employees contribute a range of skills, from IT and operations to marketing and communications. In 2019, 444 employee volunteers across nine regions provided 73 nonprofits with 3,552 hours of consulting services valued at $692,640.

Schwab also supports our communities through ongoing programs in our service centers and branch network. We provide in-kind donations that include office supplies, refurbished computer equipment, and office furniture. Employees host bake sales, food, equipment, and blood drives; and other fundraisers at Schwab facilities. And we provide administrative help for various nonprofits and make our facilities available for community groups and events.

Employee dollars go further

Our people are generous. In addition to their time and talents, Schwab employees donate consistently to their favorite charities. So we feel it’s only right to celebrate these efforts by participating in them through Schwab’s matching gift program.

Each employee can count on Charles Schwab Foundation to match their charitable donations up to $1,000 per year with an additional $1,000 match available for those who serve on a non-profit board. And so our people step up. Our employee participation in the matching gifts program significantly surpasses the industry average.

Changing futures through corporate philanthropy

Our communities matter. It’s why Charles Schwab Foundation is so passionate about supporting local causes and charitable activities, especially those that support financial literacy development. We channel that passion by providing grants, corporate sponsorships, and disaster relief funding to a variety of nonprofits.
