Investees
A foundation gives away a small share of its money each year and the rest is typically invested across public and private markets. Years ago, we decided to stop treating the annual required minimum grant amount as our “impact” and started considering the full spectrum of our assets for their highest and best use in the world. Below you’ll find a list of the investments we’ve made in alignment with our mission, spanning asset classes, impact goals, and return expectations.
