Goldman Sachs Commodities Giving Circle

In partnering with Brooklyn Org, the Goldman Sachs Commodities Team is creating a direct philanthropic partnership between the local community and the business.  

The initial focus is fundraising to provide grants to locally important causes across three verticals: Small Business Relief, Homelessness/Housing Instability, and Investing in Youth. In the near future, we hope to allow for in-person engagement to foster further direct action and engagement.

Please contact Kenan Arkan, Ranajoy Bose, or Tim Capuano with any questions or feedback.

Thank you for your support.
