iHeartMedia Philadelphia has been named a 2021 honoree of The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia by Philadelphia Foundation, in partnership with Points of Light and other local partners. Modeled after Points of Light's national program, The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia provides a standard for corporate citizenship and showcases how employers use their time, skills and resources to drive social impact in their communities and company.
"iHeartMedia Philadelphia's six stations have a long history of community service, especially critical during this pandemic," said Loraine Ballard Morrill, Director of News and Community Affairs for iHeartMedia Philadelphia. "We are deeply honored to receive this recognition. To quote President Barack Obama, ‘If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope.'"
The Civic 50 Greater Philadelphia honorees are private and public companies and other employers operating in the Philadelphia region. Honorees are selected based on four dimensions of their community engagement program:
- Investment of resources
- Integration across business functions
- Institutionalization through policies and system
- Impact measurement
Since 2011, The Civic 50 has provided a national standard for superior corporate citizenship and has showcased how companies use their time, skills and other resources to drive social impact in their business and community.
"Philadelphia Foundation is proud to recognize iHeartMedia Philadelphia's outstanding civic engagement," said Pedro Ramos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Philadelphia Foundation. "All of the 2021 honorees have demonstrated great passion and dedication to making a meaningful impact in the local communities they serve. It is this type of commitment that resonates throughout the region and sets the standard for corporate stewardship. We thank iHeartMedia Philadelphia for their efforts and congratulate them on this exciting honor."
