Our people, products and capital help to spark meaningful change and unlock opportunities for the people around us.
In 2022, we conducted a strategic review process to re-imagine a Community Impact framework that increases the impact and clarity of our community efforts, better reflects the values and interests of our people and aligns with our corporate mission.
Our people, products and capital help to spark meaningful change and unlock opportunities for the people around us. Learn more about how our CSR programs and initiative are bringing clarity, fairness and knowledge to an interconnected world.

Our Community Impact strategy is comprised of two components:
Employee Engagement Programs, which provide opportunities for our people to collaborate and build crucial skills through volunteering, leadership development and employee-led opportunities.
Social investing via Moody’s Foundation, which now has both strategic and responsive funding priorities across social investing, crisis response, community giving and corporate matching programs.
In addition to capital, we provide our partners with access to the talent and skills of our people, as well as pro bono access to our research and solutions.
Investment in our communities
Giving is a critical component to advancing our ambition. Our corporate, Moody’s Foundation and employee-led philanthropy efforts culminated in a total of more than $7 million donated in 2022.
1 Individual social investment items may not sum to total social investment due to rounding. 2 Grants paid from Moody’s Foundation toward projects aligned with its strategic focus areas, relief response and transition/exit grants. 3 Payments made by MIS, MA, and MSS that have been classified as charitable contributions. 4 The data represents approximately 90% of employees (excludes certain nonwholly owned subsidiaries and newly acquired companies that are not integrated in Moody’s IT systems). 5 Grants paid from Moody’s Foundation toward the Matching Gifts and Dollars for Doers programs.
Building an inclusive and prosperous future
To measure the impact of our social investments, we use the Mission Measurement Impact Genome Project® methodology. Across our two focus areas, we address issues that affect people in emerging markets at disproportionate rates. See 2022 highlights below.

Volunteering our expertise
We encourage employees to apply their knowledge and expertise to help strengthen their communities through company-wide initiatives, such as:
Employee-led giving programs include company match for personal donations, our Dollars for Doers and Community Giving programs, as well as Giving Opportunities program through which employees can create charity fundraising initiatives and encourage colleagues to participate.
Team building and collaboration programs include Moody’s TeamUp®, our annual month of service, which unites people in local offices and across business groups to complete service projects in their local communities. Up2You offers employees and lines of business the opportunity to organize and promote volunteer events of their choice and provides toolkits and $500 in supply cost funding.
Talent and leadership development programs include Moody’s Future Solutions pro bono program to help nonprofits build capacity and solve pressing challenges, as well as nonprofit board service resources for employees looking to join a nonprofit board. These programs provide employees with the opportunity for professional development and advancement..
