Key continues to distinguish itself as one of few companies to achieve consistent high performance throughout the program’s 14-year history, underscoring its long-standing leadership in community investment, volunteerism, and measurable social impact
Vermont Business Magazine For the thirteenth time, KeyBank (NYSE:KEY) has been recognized by Points of Light as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in America in 2026. The recognition is based on The Civic 50 survey that is administered by True Impact and consists of quantitative and qualitative questions.
The honorees are selected based on four dimensions of their community engagement and social impact programs: investment of resources, integration across business functions, institutionalization through policies and systems and impact measurement.
Key is one of only a small number of companies that have consistently achieved such high marks throughout the program’s 14-year history.
“We are honored to be recognized once again by Points of Light, reflecting our enduring purpose to help our clients, colleagues, and communities thrive,” said Eric Fiala, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer for KeyBank and CEO of the KeyBank Foundation. “Our commitment is demonstrated through sustained, meaningful action, including more than $65 billion invested in our communities since 2017 to support affordable housing, small businesses, workforce development, philanthropic partnerships, and renewable energy. We remain focused on delivering lasting impact, strengthening neighborhoods, and expanding opportunities in every community we serve.”
“Today’s leading companies understand that community engagement is more than a program, it’s a reflection of their commitment to advancing social impact in ways that strengthen both their company and the communities they serve,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light. KeyBank demonstrates how to embed purpose into the employee experience, build authentic relationships with communities and use business as a force for good. We’re proud to honor them with the 2026 Civic 50 award.”
The Civic 50 is an initiative of Points of Light that recognizes the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States. The Civic 50 survey is based on Points of Light’s Corporate Civic Engagement Framework that creates a roadmap for companies committed to using their time, talent, and resources to drive social impact in their business and communities.
