In 2007, The Blackstone Charitable Foundation was established with substantial commitments from the firm’s employees at the time of the IPO.  Our senior managing directors committed significant personal funds, which can now be directed toward philanthropic activities in the communities in which we live and work.

Our Mission

The mission of the Foundation reflects Blackstone’s commitment to invest in initiatives that encourage and support economic growth.  Accordingly, the Foundation’s primary focus will be on entrepreneurship and microfinance.

 

Blackstone has its roots in entrepreneurship, and we have a strong belief in the power of entrepreneurs to create human opportunity and exert a positive economic impact.  Thus, funding will be targeted to selected initiatives and activities that promote job creation, innovation and economic growth. 

 

In addition to its primary focus on entrepreneurship, the Foundation will make grants to organizations that support the communities where we live and work.  The Foundation may also provide grants to support the charitable efforts of Blackstone’s employees, clients and investors, as well as to fill other specific needs identified by the Foundation.
