Charitable Engagement
We believe we can be agents of change and have a meaningful, positive impact in our local communities and beyond. Many of our team members are actively engaged with charities across the world, supporting causes such as social justice, environmentalism, education, food insecurity, poverty alleviation, mental health, and more.
Giving Back
To encourage and support community engagement, we have a number of initiatives:
Generous charitable matching program that is available to all employees
Paid "volunteer time-off" for employees to work with charities of their choice
Annual Element Charity Day, which has included presentations on various charitable organizations and guidance for how staff members can increase their social impact
Onsite volunteer opportunities such as providing interview training and resume workshops for local underserved students, supporting arts education programs, and providing school supplies for children in homeless shelters
A reduced-fee share class for charitable investors so that our work can have a greater impact for great causes
Through these efforts, we’ve supported over 100 charitable organizations, including: Arts Connection, Harlem Children’s Zone, Cycle for Survival, A Leg to Stand On, Nature Conservancy, and Operation Backpack, just to name a few.
Supporting Our Communities During the Covid-19 Pandemic
In April 2020 we formed the Element Capital Covid-19 Relief Fund to bring aid to those most affected by the pandemic. Every Element employee donated to the fund, as did a number of friends and like-minded organizations. Collectively, we raised more than $2MM and funded the following charities: NYC Health & Hospitals Heroes Initiative, Citymeals on Wheels, NYC Healthcare Worker Childcare Initiative, City Harvest New York, City Harvest London, and the Robin Hood Relief Fund.
