Prudential Financial, Inc. [NYSE:PRU] recently presented awards to more
than 525 of its employees around the world and grants totaling $252,250
to the community based non-profit organizations with which they
volunteer.
The donations were made through two special programs that each year

developed their work skills and leadership qualities while coordinating
their volunteer service project. This year, 25 non-profit organizations
will each receive a $5000 grant from The Prudential Foundation, for a
total of $125,000.
The Hands for Service Awards program recognized employees who
volunteered 40 hours or more with an eligible non-profit organization.
This year, 509 employees – 482 in the United States and 27 in overseas
offices – each earned $250 grants for a total of $127,250 for the
non-profit organizations they volunteered with last year.

give so much of their time and talent to support the missions of
non-profit organizations in their communities,” said Lata Reddy, vice
president, Corporate Social Responsibility, at Prudential and president
of The Prudential Foundation.
