PNC Foundation Grants (Community Services) are offered by the PNC Foundation to support nonprofit organizations that enhance educational opportunities and promote community economic development. The foundation's priority focus is on early childhood education—anchored by its flagship PNC Grow Up Great program, a $500 million multi-year initiative launched in 2004 to prepare children from birth to age 5 for school success—as well as economic development initiatives. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations that work toward sustainability and serve diverse populations, particularly those focused on early childhood education and economic development. The foundation forms partnerships with community-based nonprofits to seed ideas, foster development, and encourage leadership in communities where PNC operates.

PNC Grow Up Great Early Childhood Grant is a grant from PNC that funds early childhood educators and nonprofits serving children from birth to age five in low- to moderate-income communities. Eligible organizations can apply for up to $75,000 to support classroom learning experiences, teacher professional development, parent and caregiver engagement programs, STEAM activities, and community-based early learning projects. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, public schools, school districts, and Head Start centers located in a PNC market area where at least 51% of children served come from low- to moderate-income households. Projects must include opportunities for PNC employee volunteers to participate. PNC has awarded over $200 million in grants since the program launched. Application deadlines vary by region.

The PNC Foundation Grants is sponsored by The PNC Foundation. The PNC Foundation aims to enhance the lives of individuals in local communities through partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
