PIMCO’s Global Week of Volunteering

The PIMCO Foundation, PIMCO’s charitable arm, began its sixth annual Global Week of Volunteering this week.

More than 900 PIMCO employees will participate in more than 100 diverse, community-based projects around the world. The effort is part of the year-round global Volunteer Initiative spearheaded by the PIMCO Foundation, which was established in 2001 to support nonprofit organizations operating within the firm’s communities.

Many PIMCO employees volunteer year-round, directly and through organized events. The annual Global Week of Volunteering and other PIMCO Foundation sponsored events aim to bring together company employees, their families and friends to help empower some of the world’s most vulnerable populations to reach their full potential. This year, all PIMCO offices around the world will hold events.

“PIMCO and its employees believe in giving back to their communities,” said Doug Hodge, PIMCO’s Chief Executive Officer and President of the PIMCO Foundation. “By working with local organisations, the PIMCO Foundation is committed to improving lives, communities and culture by empowering those in need.”

This week employees in the Sydney office have participated in a number of Global Week of Volunteering activities, including:

• School Ground Clean Up at Joseph Varga School in Randwick
• Oz Harvest – Cooking for a Cause in Marrickville
• Aged Care Morning Tea in North Ryde
• Foreshore Clean up in Sydney Harbour
