Philanthropy

Giving Back To the Communities We Serve

Our philanthropic mission is to improve the lives of those around us. We do this by partnering with organizations that do one (or more) of the following below.

Improve the economic well-being of individuals and our society overall
Provide basic needs for those in our community such as shelter, food, clothing and safety
Enhance education and literacy opportunities for those of all ages
Provide healthcare resources to those in need and support our medical community

We donate approximately 1% of our revenue each year to the Parsec Prize, our charitable grant program. Since 2005, we have given more than $1.7 million to 93 NC-based non-profits.

Corporate Sponsorships

Each year we pursue dozens of charitable sponsorships across North Carolina. In 2021 we supported 57 non-profit organizations with $87,000 in sponsorships. If you would like to be considered for a sponsorship and your organization’s mission aligns with one of the four strategic pillars we noted at the top of this page, please email Tracy Clark at tclark@parsecfinancial.com.
