\nNorthern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) donated more than $14 million last year to non-profit organizations around the world that are working to provide food and housing security, healthcare access and educational opportunities.\n<\/p>\n
\nAdditionally in 2024, Northern Trust contributed $70 million to the Northern Trust Foundation for future charitable gifts, and employees gave nearly 120,000 hours of their time to support charitable organizations globally. Over the past decade, Northern Trust has donated $240 million to nonprofits worldwide.\n<\/p>\n
\nThese key data points \u2013 and some of the stories behind the numbers \u2013 are detailed in Northern Trust\u2019s 2024 Philanthropic Impact Report<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThis report outlines important work done by Northern Trust and our employees in all corners of the globe, supporting individuals with food and housing security, healthcare access and educational opportunities,\u201d Chief Social Impact Officer Shana Hayes said. \u201cStudies show that when essential human needs are met, benchmarks of long-term financial success\u2014career opportunities, savings and home ownership\u2014rise substantially, and paths to improved opportunity become more accessible. In support of those paths, Northern Trust continues to deploy our long-term community investment strategy designed to drive individual advancement and broader wealth creation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cI\u2019m also thrilled that our employees set a new record for volunteerism in 2024, dedicating time during our global month of service and throughout the year to benefit 2,000 organizations and countless individuals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nIn all, Northern Trust\u2019s Philanthropic Impact in 2024 included:\n<\/p>\n \nNorthern Trust offers staff two paid days annually to volunteer with charitable organizations and awards grants for eligible charitable organizations where our employees volunteer. During \u201cAchieving Greater Together,\u201d our signature month of service in October, employees hosted blood donation drives in India, walked shelter dogs in Luxembourg, packed hygiene kits for the unhoused in the Philippines, assisted with food donations in the United Kingdom and prepared meals at local Ronald McDonald Houses in the U.S.\n<\/p>\n \nIn all, staff contributed a record 61,000 hours of service during the month for more than 1,600 nonprofit organizations in 20 countries. Northern Trust also donates 50 meals for every hour employees volunteered during the month of October through The Global FoodBanking Network, European Food Banks Federation and Feeding America. This year, Northern Trust contributed more than 3 million meals.\n<\/p>\n \nExamples of work Northern Trust has helped fund, as highlighted in the report, include:\n<\/p>\n Food Security \nIn New York City, many housebound seniors suffer from hunger and loneliness. Citymeals on Wheels steps in to ensure older people have continuous access to food every day of the week, backed by donors like Northern Trust. Because Citymeals\u2019 staff and volunteers deliver door-to-door, they provide a lifeline of vital human contact. Last year, they delivered over 2 million meals.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cVolunteers don\u2019t just deliver nourishment but compassion to our neighbors, too many of whom live alone,\u201d said Northern Trust Wealth Management Northeast President Carlos Arrizurieta, who serves on Citymeal\u2019s board.\n<\/p>\n Housing \nRaphael House helps low-income and unhoused families build better lives through stable housing and financial independence. Raphael House assists each family to search for a permanent home, while providing them with a private room, meals and clothing. Families also participate in a variety of ongoing supportive programs, such as financial literacy and career development, so they can work toward self-sufficiency. The Adopt-a-Family program gave 165 families essential resources and holiday assistance in 2024, with funding from Northern Trust and others. Northern Trust Wealth Strategist Richard Toft is part of the Raphael House executive leadership council.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cI can\u2019t express in words how much Raphael House has saved each of us when we were in our darkest moments,\u201d said one Raphael House client. \u201cThanks so much again a million, zillion times over.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Education \nCircle Collective supports young people facing barriers to permanent, life-changing work. It gives them the tools to achieve financial independence for the longer term as well as on-the-job experience to boost skills and self-belief. In the past year, its training assisted 67 young people, including two corporate insight sessions in which Northern Trust employees gave interactive workshops on presentation skills and career paths. Circle Collective also took part in a recruitment session at Northern Trust\u2019s London office where varied teams described potential job opportunities. These live sessions with seasoned professionals are key to building young people\u2019s confidence and set them on the path to success.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cThe insights from Northern Trust gave me a clearer perspective and the confidence to make better decisions,\u201d said one Circle Collective participant. \u201cThe presentation part especially helped me feel more confident for my interviews and in speaking with professionals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Healthcare \nEvery year, 25,000 babies in India are born with hearing impairments, leading to huge learning, social and development challenges. Early intervention\u2014hearing aids, language training and tailored education\u2014can change their future and Suhrud Mandal in Pune has been dedicated to supporting such children since 1973. Four special schools for 450 students provide not just basic reading, writing and math but also sports, arts and vocational skills, helping pupils gain confidence and independence. Northern Trust\u2019s support in the past year has allowed the schools to upgrade classrooms, add new computers and enhance training facilities. Funding has also provided essential equipment and meals, ensuring the continuity of the school.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cHearing aids are precious for deaf children, and these are digital and tailormade to take into consideration the hearing impairment of each child,\u201d said one teacher at Suhrud Mandal. \u201cHearing-impaired students are now able to have conversations with others, making them feel happier and more connected.\u201d\n<\/p>\n About Northern Trust<\/b><\/p>\n \nNorthern Trust Corporation (Nasdaq: NTRS) is a leading provider of wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking to corporations, institutions, affluent families and individuals.
