Pacific Life Announces $9.5 Million Charitable Giving Program for 2025

Pacific Life has announced plans to give $9.5 million in charitable contributions throughout 2025, supporting the communities where it operates, both in the United States and internationally. Together with the Pacific Life Foundation, Pacific Life’s global philanthropy program will focus on investing in community impact-driven programs that enable current and future generations to thrive, including college & career readiness, food security, and ocean health initiatives.

“We are committed to giving back to our communities and supporting our employees where they live and work,” said Pacific Life President & CEO Darryl Button. “Through our many impactful charitable partnerships, our goal is to create confidence for generations where it matters most. We are proud to do the right thing for our customers, people, and communities.”

A $1 million transformational grant has been made to Food Bank for the Heartland in support of the organization’s capital campaign to buid a new, larger warehouse effectively increaseing the food bank’s total space to more than 100,000 square feet. This will enable the food bank to source, store, and prepare more healthy food including produce, protein, and dairy for faster distribution in Nebraska and western Iowa, as well as increase its volunteer center capacity and offices. 

The Foundation’s first grants of the year include more than $2.5 million to 141 nonprofit partners working to solve the greatest needs of the Orange County, California; Omaha, Nebraska; and Lynchburg, Virginia communities.
