Penson Worldwide is committed to supporting the communities of each of our subsidiaries through volunteer endeavors and the sponsorship of non-profit organizations. Penson team members bring to their community service the same qualities they bring to their professional work: excellence, commitment, innovation, and an appreciation of both the "big picture" and the importance of the individual. Penson supports events and organizations including:

	The Water Project Penson Worldwide has selected The Water Project as its global charity for 2010. Nearly 1 billion people around the world lack access to clean water, which leads to a cycle of sickness, lack of education, poverty, and needless suffering. The Water Project and Penson have teamed up to raise funds to support a series of well rehabilitations in the nation of Sierra Leone. For more information on The Water Project, please visit their website.
	Sense International Sense International works in partnership to provide services and raise awareness of the needs of deafblind people and their families so they can connect, participate, and contribute to their communities.
