Community
Pitney Bowes is strongly committed to investing in the communities we serve. We believe such investment is most effective when it is aligned with our corporate mission of helping customers grow through better communications. For this reason, we focus our philanthropic giving on support for literacy and education. Through the Pitney Bowes Foundation and corporate contributions, we provide grants and matching gifts to worthy causes.
Literacy and Education
We provide funding to nonprofits working on literacy and education initiatives, with a special focus on programs designed to help close the achievement gap and strengthen the future workforce. Programs funded include national and regional after-school and summer reading programs, school system education investments, and mentoring and job training initiatives.

We support communities where we live and work through grants from Local Community Leadership Teams driven by Pitney Bowes employee volunteers. Each team receives a budget, which they allocate in support of local community organizations. At least 70 percent of the funding supports local literacy and education programs, with the remainder available to support other priority community needs.
