Corporate Citizenship
The PMI Group, Inc. is committed to being a good neighbor and citizen in all the communities we serve.
PMI established and contributes generously each year to The PMI Foundation, a non-profit charitable foundation. The PMI Foundation works with a variety of organizations to expand homeownership opportunities and contribute to the quality of life in the communities that PMI serves. PMI's dedication to expanding homeownership made a relationship between The PMI Foundation and Habitat for Humanity a natural fit. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness around the world. As a Cornerstone Partner of Habitat for Humanity International, The PMI Foundation has contributed to more than 130 Habitat for Humanity homes worldwide.
PMI has been a pioneer in developing affordable housing solutions for low- to moderate-income borrowers in the United States and is working to share that expertise around the globe.
PMI also supports employees' efforts to contribute to their local communities. For example, in the United States, employees at PMI headquarters adopt hundreds of children in foster care to provide gifts for the holiday season. In Australia, team members have held fundraising drives that support cancer patients and the Australia, New Zealand Intensive Care Foundation.
PMI matched employee disaster relief contributions five to one following the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia and again when Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast of the United States. Our response to the hurricanes was part of an innovative package that included a donation of single-family homes and a grant to Habitat for Humanity for rebuilding.
We're proud that our efforts have been recognized. In the United States, PMI received the Good Business Award from a local business journal in recognition of the company's commitment to combining business success with good corporate citizenship. And in recognition of the strong commitment to helping families achieve the dream of homeownership, PMI Australia and Habitat for Humanity were awarded Australia's National Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships in 2006.
