Global Corporate Citizenship Video
The Citi Foundation is committed to the economic empowerment of individuals and families, particularly those in need, in the communities where we work so that they can improve their standard of living.
We fulfill this mission by providing grant support for programs that are aligned with our priority focus areas, promote collaboration and effective use of philanthropic resources, engage our employees, and demonstrate impact and positive outcomes. We are particularly interested in supporting program innovations in the following priority focus areas:
Microfinance and Microenterprise to help individuals and families improve their lives through economic self-sufficiency and reduce financial vulnerability
Small and Growing Businesses to create employment opportunities and support broad economic growth
College and Careers programs that help improve quality and access to primary and secondary education in Citi markets internationally, and in the United States programs that increase the number of low-income and first-generation students who enroll in postsecondary education and earn a degree
Financial Capability and Asset Building to help individuals and families develop the knowledge they need to achieve financial stability
In the U.S., the Citi Foundation supports Neighborhood Revitalization programs to help physically revitalize neighborhoods and create economically vibrant communities
In addition, the Citi Foundation works with its partners in its priority focus areas of Microfinance and Microenterprise, Small and Growing Businesses and Neighborhood Revitalization to support environmental innovations and embed a "green" component within key areas of their work.
