We believe passionately that when we invest in the people and institutions in our communities, everyone wins. We empower individuals, elevate organizations, and generate valuable economic growth — cultivating a sense of shared ownership and mutual responsibility that serves us all. Through our Community Reinvestment Act initiatives, Stifel broadens access to financial services by providing credit and funding to local municipalities and organizations to support development projects, revitalize low- to moderate-income areas, and fund affordable housing programs.
Associates across Stifel are actively engaged in service opportunities throughout the U.S. and abroad. In 2025, they logged 30,560 volunteer hours, including support for nonprofit organizations, industry groups, and commemorative events such as the National Day of Service, which honors the lives lost on 9/11, including 67 associates from Stifel's KBW subsidiary.
A lack of access to financial literacy programs and services can have generational impacts within families and communities, creating lifelong barriers to financial success. To address this gap, Stifel has created programs to share our knowledge on investing, saving, and other personal finance topics with people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2025, nearly 1,400 participants benefited from in-person financial literacy events sponsored by Stifel's banks or led by our employee volunteers.
Stifel promotes and prioritizes the power of giving. From our burgeoning Donation Match Program to our commitment to corporate sponsorships, we are devoted to meaningful financial action. We are proud to share that our corporate and associate philanthropic donations and our corporate matches totaled over $13.3 million in 2025.
