Prudential’s support for the military and Veterans dates back to the founding of the company more than 135 years ago and remains strong today.

Veterans are returning to civilian life by the tens of thousands, eager to apply their highly refined talents in sustainable careers. We recognize that this presents a challenge: how can we best cultivate those talents for the betterment of our nation, and for the lives of those who have served us?

Prudential responded by creating its Veterans Initiatives. This program establishes not only a robust training and educational platform for Veterans, but a talent pipeline for our company as well.

Prudential has proudly supported the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation since 2010. We salute the foundations strong educational scholarship programs and applaud the voice the foundation lends to Army women across the nation.

By supporting outstanding organizations such as the Army Women’s Foundation, we are confident that we are helping to create a stronger network of support for this great nation’s Veterans and military personnel.
