Note from Northern Trust Chief Social Impact Officer
Building on our long and distinguished history of giving back to the communities in which we live and work, I’m thrilled by the significant and memorable milestones in philanthropy and volunteerism that we achieved in 2023.
Collectively and as individuals, Northern Trust has always been deeply committed to being a positive force in the world. As we continue to focus our philanthropic efforts in four areas proven to make the greatest long-term impact—food security, affordable housing, quality education and accessible healthcare—we’ve seen tremendous results from our cumulative efforts. Our employees were back in the office, and volunteering in our communities, with renewed excitement to give back alongside their teams and coworkers.
In 2023, that interest, and the ability to put it into action, rose dramatically, with a record-setting year for volunteer participation and the number of organizations that benefitted from this service to the communities. We were also thrilled to launch our inaugural Anchor Award, a $1 million capacity-building grant to support an innovative organization in Chicago, our headquarter city.
I’m excited and humbled by these accomplishments, and look forward to an even more impactful future.
