For PNC Bank, the strength of the company largely depends on the strength of the communities where its employees and customers live and work.   

“That’s why PNC and our employees invest time, energy and resources to support efforts that improve quality of life and bring economic and cultural vibrancy to the communities where we operate,” said Chad Loar, Regional President, West & Central Florida, for PNC Bank.  

The mission of Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando & Osceola County aligns perfectly with PNC Bank’s strategic priority of investing in organizations that primarily serve low-to-moderate income communities and families, Loar said. 

Habitat Orlando & Osceola is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing locally and worldwide through constructing, rehabilitating and preserving homes; by advocating for fair and just housing policies; and by providing training and access to resources to help families improve their lives. 

“Habitat for Humanity has had a long tenure for changing people’s lives for the better,” Loar said. “It helps low-to-moderate income families flourish by providing a permanent shelter to rest their heads and call home.”  

Similarly, PNC’s Community Development Banking (CDB) division is a distinct line of business that is primarily engaged in activities that strengthen low-to-moderate income people and geographies, Loar said. CDB partners with organizations engaged in affordable housing, economic development, financial education, community services for LMI individuals, and revitalization and stabilization of LMI areas, like Habitat for Humanity. 

PNC Bank has a long history of supporting local organizations like Habitat Orlando & Osceola with grants, loans, executive leadership, financial education and volunteerism.  

“Businesses of all sizes can find opportunities to make a positive impact in their communities by volunteering as a group or individually or even donating funds [or in-kind items] to this meaningful charitable organization,” Loar said.
