ABOUT US Bloomberg Philanthropies works to create catalytic change across five areas of focus: arts and culture, education, the environment, government innovation, and public health. Our mission is to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people. Our approach is rooted in Mike Bloomberg's unique experience and success across the field of business, government, and philanthropy. THE GREENWOOD INITIATIVE Bloomberg Philanthropies' Greenwood Initiative is a philanthropic effort to catalyze wealth accumulation across generations for Black families and address decades of underinvestment and wealth extraction in Black communities nationwide. Partnering with individuals, communities and institutions, the Greenwood Initiative uses data to develop and implement ambitious and innovative strategies that advance racial wealth equity. Through its partnerships and convening power, the first-ever Bloomberg Philanthropies portfolio dedicated to racial wealth equity aims to create the conditions for more Black people to acquire resources, expand community ownership and increase their influence through economic power. Bloomberg Philanthropies has long been committed to improving quality of life and increasing equitable access to opportunity in communities across the world. To date, the portfolio has invested $896 million which includes a $600 million gift to the endowments of the nation's four historically Black medical schools - building on a previous investment of $100 million to these schools to reduce the debt of future Black doctors. The Greenwood Initiative is also working to empower local leaders to drive racial wealth equity agendas; ensure the equitable transfer of Black wealth across generations; expand access to comprehensive wealth data disaggregated by race; and has invested in childhood savings accounts for kindergarteners in Brooklyn.
