Key stands out among a select group of organizations that have sustained top-tier results across the full fourteen-year history of the initiative, highlighting its steady focus on community support, employee volunteering, and measurable societal outcomes

/PRNewswire/ -- Points of Light has once again placed KeyBank (NYSE:KEY) among the fifty most community-oriented firms in the nation for 2026. The honor stems from The Civic 50 survey conducted by True Impact, which gathers both numerical data and descriptive responses.

Selection rests on four key aspects of corporate community efforts: allocation of resources, alignment with core operations, formalization via guidelines and processes, and evaluation of results.

Key ranks among the limited set of companies that have delivered such strong outcomes consistently over the program's fourteen-year run.

"We are pleased to receive this ongoing recognition from Points of Light, which reflects our steady mission to support the success of clients, team members, and local areas," stated Eric Fiala, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer for KeyBank and CEO of the KeyBank Foundation. "This dedication shows through ongoing, tangible efforts, including over sixty-five billion dollars directed to communities since 2017 for affordable housing, small enterprises, job training, charitable ties, and clean energy projects. We continue to pursue enduring change, bolster neighborhoods, and broaden access across all regions we operate in."

"Current industry leaders recognize that community involvement goes beyond a single initiative; it signals their resolve to foster social progress that benefits both the organization and the areas it serves," noted Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light. KeyBank illustrates how to weave purpose into daily work life, form genuine community ties, and apply business resources for positive change. We are glad to present them with the 2026 Civic 50 award."

The Civic 50 program, run by Points of Light, highlights the fifty leading community-focused companies across the United States. The survey draws on Points of Light's Corporate Civic Engagement Framework, offering guidance for firms that seek to leverage their time, skills, and assets for meaningful social results within operations and local settings.
