Being good citizens is at the heart of who we are and, this Giving Tuesday, we're ready to make a difference. Today and every day, we're proud to offer a matching gift program where we match colleagues’ charitable donations up to $1,000 annually. A huge part of our Credo is about leveraging our time, talent and resources to strengthen our communities, all in an effort to make a true difference.
During this season of giving, as we gather with family and friends to celebrate the holidays, we wanted to reflect on our commitment to our communities. Our commitment to giving back is rooted in the belief that when people and communities succeed, we all thrive. Colleagues across Citizens build partnerships to develop neighborhoods, transform lives and stimulate economic renewal. Learn more below.
