Giving Back

How we support the communities where we live and work
Making a Difference Is at the Core of Our Firm

Morgan Stanley doesn’t do philanthropy the usual way. Our approach is rooted in creating significant and meaningful impact for people in the communities where we live and work, both by collaborating long-term with leading nonprofit organizations and by mobilizing our employees to leverage their collective talents to help make the world a better place.

 

We focus on children’s physical and mental health because it affects all of us and our future world. And we prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion across all of our programs to work towards ensuring that everyone benefits from our efforts to effect transformative change.

Giving back is central to our culture and what it means to work at Morgan Stanley. We’re proud to support innovative nonprofit organizations that make a difference across the globe, and to leverage the dedication, time and skills of our employees to drive impact where it’s needed most.

Our Commitment to Children's Health

Our philanthropic efforts are led by the Morgan Stanley Foundation, which for more than 60 years has been dedicated to giving children a healthy start to life, supporting diverse communities, and harnessing the time and skills of our employees to make an impact. With the establishment of the Morgan Stanley International Foundation nearly 30 years ago, we expanded our reach to help children grow and thrive globally.

Addressing food insecurity
We work with the Felix Project in London, the Red Feather Community Chest in Tokyo, Foodlink Foundation in Hong Kong, the Feeding America network of food banks in the U.S. and other nonprofit organizations around the world to help provide children and families with sustained access to nutritious food.
