Now in its 14th year, The Civic 50 is the nation’s leading corporate social impact recognition program, celebrating excellence in employee volunteering, community investment and social impact strategy. The Civic 50 survey, which recognizes public and private companies with annual revenues of at least $1 billion, allows CSR teams to track purposeful volunteering, giving and community engagement insights.

“HCSC is committed to driving meaningful change by investing in the communities we serve, fostering a strong culture of service and serving as a trusted community partner,” said Clarita Santos, HCSC’s vice president of community solutions. “Our continued focus on volunteerism and community partnerships helps us build stronger, healthier communities.”

“Today’s leading companies understand that community engagement is more than a program, it’s a reflection of their commitment to advancing social impact in ways that strengthen both their company and the communities they serve,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of Points of Light. “HCSC demonstrates how to embed purpose into the employee experience, build authentic relationships with communities and use business as a force for good. We’re proud to honor them with the 2026 Civic 50 award.”

In addition, Jill Wolowitz, HCSC’s executive vice president, chief administrative officer and chief ethics & compliance officer, was recognized by Points of Light as an honorable mention honoree in the Volunteering with Purpose category for C-Suite or Executive Sponsor. This distinction honors senior leaders who champion volunteering and social impact as strategic business priorities, mobilizing organizational resources and influence to drive meaningful change. Wolowitz has been instrumental in advancing community engagement as a core business focus at HCSC, expanding volunteer participation and strengthening the company’s ability to support communities in meaningful and measurable ways.

In 2025, HCSC’s employees volunteered more than 183,000 hours, and served over 3,100 organizations. HCSC contributed more than $32 million in grants and sponsorships to community organizations nationally and locally, partnering with trusted local nonprofits to target hyperlocal health and human service needs.

The survey includes quantitative and multiple-choice questions that inform the scoring process. The Civic 50 remains the only survey and ranking system focused exclusively on measuring corporate community engagement.
