Schwab Foundation 2020 A look back at 2020: Schwab serving our communities During the unprecedented uncertainty of 2020—as people everywhere grappled with the devastating impact of the pandemic—Charles Schwab Foundation and Schwab and TD Ameritrade employees stepped up more than ever to lift those in need while maintaining our focus on financial literacy. Opens in popup + Transcript Our spirit of service Our spirit of service In 2021, Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade employees honored the company’s long-standing culture of investing in its communities through philanthropy and volunteer service by participating in Schwab Volunteer Month. For the first time in its history, the program shifted to an all-virtual format, providing more ways for employees and nonprofit partners to volunteer while staying safe during the pandemic. In addition, the event expanded from one week to nearly an entire month, providing more opportunities for involvement. Many Schwab Volunteer Month projects help nonprofits increase the financial empowerment and well-being of the people they serve, and Schwab and TD Ameritrade employees have the opportunity to give back to their communities in a variety of ways, while staying safe and socially distanced. Schwab Volunteer Month began as a single day of service on May 13, 2004, with just over 1,000 employee volunteers serving 37 nonprofits in seven cities across the country. Despite the ongoing pandemic, this year's Schwab Volunteer Month engaged more than 6,000 employees serving more than 130 nonprofits nationwide. Applying our skills to help propel nonprofits Applying our skills to help propel nonprofits Our Pro Bono Challenge is a skills-based flash consulting event that enables Schwab employees to focus their time, talents, and expertise to help local nonprofit organizations expand their impact in our communities. Cross-functional teams of employees provide consulting sessions to help participating nonprofits solve business and operational challenges. Employees contribute a range of skills, from IT and operations to marketing and communications. In 2020, 392 employee volunteers across the country participated at 10 events consulting on 67 projects providing consulting services valued at $748,995. This year, we held flash consulting events in Austin, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Orlando, Phoenix, Richfield, Ohio, and San Francisco. Schwab also organized a new challenge working with military and veteran serving organizations and teamed new USAA colleagues with Schwab's MVN members. Schwab also supports our communities through ongoing programs in our service centers and branch network. We provide in-kind donations that include office supplies, refurbished computer equipment, and office furniture. Employees host bake sales, food, equipment, and blood drives; and other fundraisers at Schwab facilities. And we provide administrative help for various nonprofits and make our facilities available for community groups and events. Pro Bono Challenge "Schwab’s culture of service is so evident at these Pro Bono events—its employees are engaged and enthusiastic.

It represents a deep investment for their nonprofit partners, employees, and community.” Danielle Holly CEO, Common Impact Oakland, California Pro Bono Challenge provides nonprofits with expertise to address critical organization needs Opens in popup + Transcript Employee dollars go further Employee dollars go further Our people are generous. In addition to their time and talents, Schwab employees donate consistently to their favorite charities.

Each employee can count on Charles Schwab Foundation to match their charitable donations up to $1,000 per year with an additional $1,000 match available for those who serve on a non-profit board. And so our people step up. Our employee participation in the matching gifts program significantly surpasses the industry average.
