Making a bigger impact with every
year
Citi’s annual e for education campaign has raised $9.6 million
to support education focused non-profits. Since its inception in
2013, the global philanthropic initiative has raised over $56
million to help tackle childhood illiteracy and improve access to
quality education.
“Once again, we are making a meaningful impact to inspire hope
and the opportunity to empower young people around the world,” said
Carey Lathrop, Co-Head of Markets. “We are proud of the success of
this campaign and thank our clients and non-profit partners in
helping change the lives of society’s next generation.”
Throughout the eight-week campaign, Citi donated a percentage of
its business proceeds traded electronically across its Markets
franchise. This year, Citi expanded the number of non-profits with
three additional partners, Asian University for Women, Ditch the
Label and Pencils of Promise, bringing the total of non-profit
organizations supported by the campaign to 13.
“e for education continues to grow every year and the impact
this year has been greater than ever,” said Itay Tuchman, Global
Head of FX. “The financial support we are proud to provide combined
with the engagement between our clients, staff and non-profit
partners will help ensure that students around the world will be
provided the opportunities to achieve at the highest level.”
Through various initiatives, thousands of students have been
supported by the campaign globally. This includes a virtual career
symposium, coaching and mentoring sessions and sponsorship of the
Teach First Run your River Race.
“Citi’s e for education is one of the most innovative campaigns
of its kind,” said Heather Halstead, Executive Director at Reach
the World. “The campaign truly engages every component of the Citi
global ecosystem, bringing inspirational mentors from around the
world into direct contact with Reach the World students and
teachers – most of whom have never had the opportunity to connect
to global networks like this. Thank you, Citi e for education, for
all that you do.”
“Accelerating learning and supporting Uncommon Schools students’
well-being is more urgent than ever,” said Brett Peiser, Chief
Executive Officer, Uncommon Schools. “The Citi e for education
Campaign helps ensure we have the flexibility to pivot and innovate
to close COVID-related learning gaps for our 21,000 students, many
of whose communities are among the hardest-hit by the pandemic.
We’re grateful for our partners at Citi for standing with us in
this work.”
