2025 recipient of our Founders Award, the Dr. Wilhelm de Nijs Vision Award

Together with Pacific Life, the Pacific Life Foundation has made philanthropic investments totaling $159 million to nonprofits over the past four decades. In addition, the Pacific Life Volunteers program generates thousands of hours of service to our communities every year.  In 2025, Pacific Life will make $9.5 million in charitable contributions, with a focus on investing in community impact-driven programs that provide confidence for current and future generations to thrive, including career and college readiness, food security, and ocean health initiatives. Our support of Beyond Blindness aligns with Pacific Life’s purpose of building confidence for generations and doing the right thing for our communities. A recent $100,000 capital grant in support of building a new playground at Beyond Blindness’ Santa Ana location will positively impact hundreds of children for generations. The Foundation consistently ranks as one of Orange County’s largest philanthropic funders every year, while earning national recognition from Points of Light’s Civic 50 as one of the 50 most community-minded companies in the United States.
