COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS IN ACTION
We encourage employees to make a difference by being community champions through the Giving at BNY program. Eligible employees benefit from volunteer time off and a company-matching donation made to that organization. BNY also incentivizes charitable donations to nonprofits by matching employee donations.
Since the program first launched in 2008, BNY employees have volunteered 1.6 million hours, valued at more than $50 million, with employee donations and company-matching contributions accounting for more than $200 million to nonprofit organizations around the globe.*
*As of June 2025, all figures are rounded to the nearest 100,000

In the Business of Accesibility
A team from BNY Pershing developed a comprehensive business plan to help launch a revenue-generating accessibility testing lab with Helen Keller Services, which will further support their mission-driven work.
