Community Service 2009 Company of the Week

February 8, 2009

The PMI Group, Inc.

The PMI Group, Inc. is committed to being a good neighbor and citizen in all the communities it serves. 

PMI established and contributes generously each year to The PMI Foundation, a nonprofit charitable foundation. The PMI Foundation works with a variety of organizations to expand homeownership opportunities and contribute to the quality of life in the communities that PMI serves. PMI's dedication to expanding homeownership made a relationship between The PMI Foundation and Habitat for Humanity a natural fit. As a Cornerstone Partner of Habitat for Humanity International, The PMI Foundation has contributed to more than 130 Habitat for Humanity homes worldwide.

PMI also supports employees' efforts to contribute to their local communities. In addition to their volunteer efforts with Habitat, employees continually demonstrate their personal commitment to build strong communities and utilize the power of teams to deliver extraordinary results.

Every year, the company provides quarterly opportunities for employees to give through Community Days which bring nonprofit organizations to the headquarters where employees can make a donation or learn more about the organization. In 2008 alone, employees donated over 50 units of blood, 121 pounds of food for local food banks, 328 backpacks and 540 pounds of school supplies for underserved youth, 185 gently used wardrobe essentials for low-income jobseekers, 103 blankets for homeless children and hundreds of dollars. Additionally, 200 foster care children benefitted from the Adopt an Angel program over the holiday season.

PMI also coordinates several Done in a Day programs throughout the year where employees can volunteer during work hours. For example, working with the Assistance League, employees helped low-income children select school uniforms and on another day they taught children of all ages about business and economics using materials provided by Junior Achievement.

The culture at PMI promotes community involvement. That’s why it was natural for PMI to sponsor the Charity Challenge. The entire company was divided into seven teams and each was given $1,000 in seed money to focus on the charity of their choice. With the challenge under way, there are several teams who have already doubled their contribution.

Events like these allow employees to put their hearts and hands together to support the community.
 
The PMI Group, Inc., headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA provides credit enhancement solutions that expand homeownership while supporting our customers and the communities they serve.
