- In 2006, it launched The Chairman's Award, the first global volunteering initiative, which offers community enhancement projects in every country in which it is represented. Over 1,600 employees across all of Prudential’s markets have worked on over 50 international projects.

- In the US, Jackson National Life Insurance Company formed the Jackson National Community Fund (JNCF).
