Investing in Change
We provide critical investments, financial support and partnership to strengthen the diverse communities that we serve.
Real progress takes real commitment
At FNB, our success has always been grounded in our commitment to building strong communities. As we continue to enhance our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, we know that making a difference means taking meaningful action to improve the opportunities available to minority groups.
Our goal of driving lasting change underscores our $250 million commitment to help low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities address economic and social inequity. The funding promotes economic investments in underserved communities within our market footprint through support of affordable housing and small business initiatives, workforce and cultural preservation opportunities, financial education programs, community organization partnerships and infrastructure investments.
This pledge builds on FNB’s important mandate to support vulnerable and traditionally underserved communities and furthers our mission of improving the quality of life in the communities we serve.
Expanding with Purpose
Our expansion strategy is purpose-driven. FNB makes sure our growth benefits our regions and has grown regional headquarters and operational centers in diverse urban markets throughout our footprint.
We continue to explore opportunities to increase our presence in the Pittsburgh region through our long-standing commitment to the North Side. When we named Pittsburgh as our headquarters in 2014, we located the heart of our operations adjacent to historically underserved and LMI neighborhoods, and continuously invest capital and resources in those communities. In 2016, FNB added an operations and customer service center to the North Side campus. We have added hundreds of jobs in the city.
Creating Opportunities
It is our responsibility as a corporate leader and citizen to elevate our communities – especially those that are historically underrepresented or underserved.
Among millions of dollars provided in sponsorships and financial contributions, a few key examples of our focused support include:
- Being the founding sponsor and principal grant provider for the African American Directors Forum, which is designed to improve diversity — particularly African American representation — among the ranks of C-suite executives and board membership of publicly traded companies in the United States.
- Partnering with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the City of Pittsburgh to create a transformational Rec2Tech education facility in the Ammon Recreation Center in the Hill District.
- Contributing $100,000 to the Hill District Federal Credit Union, a minority depository institution that has served Pittsburgh's Hill District community for the last 50 years.
- Our $250,000 contribution for college tuition through the Pittsburgh Promise, which promotes educational aspirations for urban youth. FNB also served as the principal sponsor for the 2019 fundraising event that raised nearly $5 million.
- Support of Pride events celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through both sponsorships and employee volunteerism in multiple FNB markets.
- A multi-year commitment to Special Olympics North Carolina, including extensive volunteerism and advocacy by FNB employees.
- Helping to raise in excess of $1 million in support of children with special needs through our long history with the Watson Institute, an educational organization in Western Pennsylvania made up of special education schools, programs and resources.
- Millions of dollars in grants provided to nonprofits and groups serving vulnerable and LMI neighborhoods.
- Thousands of hours of volunteer service by our employees, who work with organizations or programs to assist minority and underserved communities.
