The 2025 Civic 50 report, released by Points of Light in June 2025, revealed that the top 50 most community-minded U.S. companies contributed $6.1 billion in total social investments and mobilized 460,000 employees to perform community service.

At Points of Light, we believe that companies, their employee volunteers, vendors and customers can be transformative drivers of social change in communities around the world. We support the work of companies, from how people are asked, engaged and supported in delivering innovative solutions to educating and convening the sector on trends, best practices and evidence-based strategies for civic engagement, including leadership of The Civic 50.
Companies honored in The Civic 50 in 2019 tapped into a magnetic power that is shaping the relationship businesses have with their communities.

Increasingly, people support and punish corporations through their choice of work, purchases and investments. Yet there is little information on corporate community engagement to help employees, consumers and neighbors decide which companies to support. The Civic 50, an initiative of Points of Light, in partnership with Bloomberg LP, honors the 50 most community-minded companies in the nation each year as determined by an annual survey. By sharing the best practices of community engagement and benchmarking companies against each other, The Civic 50 presents a roadmap for how companies are using their time, skills and other resources to improve the quality of life in their communities.
This report presents the highlights from the 2014 Civic 50. Its objectives are, first, to recognize the most community-minded companies in the nation and, second, to highlight a path forward for business managers and corporate social responsibility leaders who want to embrace the principles of The Civic 50 so that their companies can also be one of the most community-minded companies in the nation.
The 2017 Civic 50 represents the very best of business in America. Each company on this list has made exemplary commitments to the cities and neighborhoods where their employees live and work. At a time when change is sweeping every corner of the globe and redefining everything from geopolitical alliances and neighborhood divides to individual liberties and human rights, businesses and the millions of individuals they represent are being called to serve, engage, and lead in new ways. The companies who we honor are contemporary examples of the words of President George H.W. Bush in his 1991 speech to graduates at the University of Michigan, “… muster the courage to be what I call a point of light. We live in the most exciting period of my lifetime, quite possibly of yours. The old way of doing things have run their course. Find new ones. Dare to serve others, and future generations will never forget the example you set.”
The 2016 Civic 50 results and learning continue to reinforce the new role of social engagement and purpose alignment inside of companies. No longer is “social focus” a nicety; this year’s results tell us that corporate social responsibility is at the center of multi-stakeholder engagement helping to build stronger, more authentic brands and communities. Social engagement strategies are measured, managed, integrated and well-supported. They are strategies that connect employees and customers, reflect brand values and serve the needs of communities where employees live and work.
Trends in this year’s benchmarking report are showing how companies are moving from just supporters of causes to true stewards of community resources. As people expect more from businesses than ever, companies are responding and shifting social and civic action and responsibility to the core of business.
