“#GivingTuesday started as a single day of goodwill, but the true impact comes when generosity\u2014and accountability with those investments\u2014becomes part of our everyday behavior,” said Marian Salzman<\/span>, Senior Vice President, PMI U.S<\/b>., who was a driving force behind creating GivingTuesday in 2012. “At PMI U.S., generosity isn’t limited to a season. Since 2022, our giving has exceeded $35 million<\/span>, and our employees have increased their participation in community programs by 400 percent. Saying thank you is powerful. But living it\u2014365 days a year, with transparency and purpose\u2014is even more meaningful.”<\/p>\n

Since 2024, PMI U.S. has contributed more than $740,000<\/span> to 91 organizations across the Midwest, supporting communities in need and the company’s core giving pillars, including over $165,000<\/span> toward veterans and military support and more than $525,000<\/span> for economic empowerment initiatives. With that support, organizations are enabled to further drive meaningful community-level change to improve lives.<\/p>\n

“PMI’s support didn’t just fund a program \u2014 it expanded our reach to veterans who were falling through the cracks,” said Joshua Parish<\/span>, Co-Founder of VETLIFE<\/b>. “Because of this grant, we’ve been able to connect thousands more veterans and families to benefits, mental-health support, and real community. It’s helped us build a safer, stronger path forward for the people we serve every day.”<\/p>\n
