The S&P Global Foundation, the keystone of our philanthropic efforts, supports the building of inclusive, resilient economies.
Our S&P Global Foundation programs maximize opportunities to engage S&P Global employees and are created to have a real impact in the communities where we live and work.
The S&P Global Foundation focuses its efforts where we can make a real difference: Diversifying Technology & Data and Creating Environmental Resilience.
Our primary focus areas for Foundation grant making address issues essential to long-term sustainability, and provide maximum opportunities to engage and leverage the extensive expertise of S&P Global employees worldwide.
Diversity, equity and inclusion are important factors in our work.
We help diversify the tech sector and build generational wealth by opening job training and placement opportunities to traditionally underrepresented communities.
We help vulnerable communities adapt to new climate realities and prepare for and rebound from climate-related disasters.
By partnering with local organizations, we support the commitment and efforts of S&P Global employees to help power thriving sustainable communities around the world. We also partner with organizations such as Reboot Representation to inspire students from diverse backgrounds to become STEM leaders. We unlock economic opportunity for skilled immigrants and refugees by supporting Breaking Barriers. We partner with Resilient Cities Network to future-proof communities and critical infrastructure. And we harness the vast knowledge and experience of S&P Global employees to connect mentors with purpose-driven entrepreneurs through MicroMentor. When S&P Global employees partner with the Foundation to support these efforts, the diversity of skill, experience and creative thinking strengthens the S&P Global workforce, the Foundation and the organizations we support.
The S&P Global Foundation accepts proposals and grant requests by invitation only from organizations with demonstrated success in the outlined focus areas, and a focus on communities where S&P Global employees live and work. Please note that the Foundation will not review or respond to any unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals.
