KeyBank, which includes the Key Equipment Finance division, has been named a 2020 honoree of The Civic 50 by Points of Light, the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service.
The award recognizes KeyBank as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States. The Civic 50 provides a national standard for superior corporate citizenship and showcases how companies can use their time, skills and resources to impact their communities.
Selection focuses on engagement
The Civic 50 honorees are public and private companies with U.S. operations and revenues of $1 billion or more, and are selected based on four dimensions of their U.S. community engagement program including investment, integration, institutionalization and impact.
Nationally, KeyBank has made an $18 million philanthropic commitment for COVID-19 response throughout the most vulnerable communities.
Neighbors serve communities
KeyBank also said its annual day of service, Neighbors Make The Difference Day, became a virtual event in 2020 where employees have more than 9,000 volunteer events to choose from throughout June and July.
The Civic 50 survey was administered by True Impact, a company specializing in helping organizations maximize and measure their social and business value. The survey instrument consists of quantitative and multiple-choice questions that inform The Civic 50 scoring process. The Civic 50 is the only survey and ranking system that exclusively measures corporate involvement in communities.
