Pershing Square Philanthropies

The Pershing Square Foundation (PSF) was established in 2006. Since then, the Foundation and our affiliated entities have committed more than $930 million in grants and social investments in target areas including health and life sciences, education, economic development and social innovation. By investing in pioneering individuals, non-profits and mission driven companies who dare to re-imagine the possible, we have helped to bring about important breakthroughs — from cancer research and small-scale agriculture to criminal justice reform and educational opportunities for young people in communities — around the world. We have learned an enormous amount from our partners in change. You will meet a number of them in the story of our first ten years — social entrepreneurs of all stripes — whose innovations challenge the status quo and defy conventional categorization. We are delighted to share some of these stories with you, which continue to inform and inspire us into the next decade as we transition to Pershing Square Philanthropies (PSP), an umbrella for all of our philanthropic giving.
