PIMCO’s Post

PIMCO’s Global Month of Volunteering (GMV) recurs each July with many opportunities across our offices to support local nonprofits and communities worldwide. While GMV allows us to collectively make a more meaningful impact, our continuous efforts are of steadfast importance to our work, teams and clients. A prime example of PIMCO’s community-minded culture is Managing Director John Kirkowski, who brings his private sector expertise and strong belief in aiding social progress to his philanthropic endeavors, especially in his role as an OneOC Board Member. John and OneOC’s partnership is rooted in a common goal – to provide the solutions and support that empower nonprofits and companies in their charitable services. With John’s lead, PIMCO colleagues have been able to demonstrate #SharedBonds through various volunteer initiatives, like the OneOC Community Cup and PIMCO Beach Cleanup events. As we launch #GMV2024, we celebrate leaders like John, who abundantly gives his time and resources to an organization advancing other nonprofits and empowers volunteers to share their time and talent with our communities.

PIMCO’s annual Global Month of Volunteering has been set in motion! We hosted multiple kickoff events globally to give colleagues the opportunity to connect, learn more about our nonprofit partners, and sign up for the many upcoming volunteer opportunities we have planned. Last year, our colleagues, along with family and friends, volunteered more than 7,000 hours. Building on this remarkable achievement, we are thrilled to join forces once again this July to create meaningful change together. #GMV2024

To celebrate Pride and this year’s theme, “Facing the Past, Changing the Future,” PIMCO Pride organized activities to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ identity, experiences, history, allyship, and advocacy. We kicked off the month with a keynote event exploring the PRIDE community's historical challenges, the role of intersectional support in civil rights progress, and our influence on current change. Sonya Passi, Founder of @FreeFrom , a PIMCO Foundation Gender Equality grantee, joined us mid-month for an impactful session sharing how the organization is working toward economic empowerment at the intersection of racial, gender, and sexual orientation. Throughout the month, we learned about important people in LGBTQ+ history, and we closed this year’s events with office gatherings and snacks from LGBTQ+ owned small businesses. It was an exceptional month of raising awareness and celebrating! #PrideMonth
