Nasdaq has relaunched the Nasdaq Foundation with a new mission: advancing diversity in investor engagement.
As part of our Purpose Initiative, the Foundation will work to support women and under-represented minority communities by focusing on two goals:
-
Reimagining investor engagement to equip under-represented communities with the financial knowledge to share in the wealth that markets create
-
Leveraging our investment in the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center alongside new strategic partnerships with organizations that can help build a deeper, data-led understanding where the challenges are greatest, what existing efforts could be amplified, and how the Nasdaq Foundation can make new and distinctive contributions
Quarterly Grant Program
As we strive to accelerate progress in diversifying entrepreneurship and empowering a more diverse group of investors, the Nasdaq Foundation will accept grant requests for programs that align with our focus areas.
