Activist Non-profit investing
About Us
A percentage of Connor Group revenue goes to its non-profit arm, The Connor Group Kids and Community Partners. Since 2016, more than $20 million in proceeds have gone directly to non-profit programs. The company anticipates investing more than $300 million in non-profits over the next decade.
What makes us different is that we find really good causes and help develop them into really great programs by leveraging some of the practices that makes The Connor Group a highly successful organization. We take a narrow-and-deep approach to business and non-profit activist investing. That means we’ll often research hundreds of programs to find one. It means more to us than just writing a check.
