Partnership Fund for New York City

The Partnership Fund for New York City functions as the investment arm of the Partnership for New York City, deploying capital into innovative ventures. It supports entrepreneurs and emerging industries, providing patient investments alongside deep operational expertise to foster robust economic growth. The organization effectively leverages the collective business acumen of the city's private sector.

Henry Kravis established the Partnership Fund in 1996, envisioning a "corporate civic investment fund" to generate positive city-wide outcomes. His insight focused on accelerating opportunities in underserved areas and cultivating new growth industries. Kravis, after consulting David Rockefeller, understood that success required financial backing and dedicated involvement from New York's business leaders.

The Fund benefits entrepreneurs and vital emerging sectors, driving a more diverse, inclusive, and innovative economy for New York City. Its mission mobilizes private sector resources and expertise to secure the city's future growth, strategically guiding innovation where most impactful, ensuring sustained opportunity for all residents.
