Apollo Opportunity Foundation Celebrates Two Years of Propelling Change
The Apollo Opportunity Foundation (“AOF”) was launched in 2022 with a $100 million commitment from Apollo Global Management, furthering the firm’s goal of expanding opportunity across its workplace, marketplace and communities.
Today marks the 2nd anniversary of AOF’s founding. Since 2022, AOF has invested in 22 non-profit organizations across the globe that seek to expand opportunity by advancing economic prosperity via three key channels: career education, workforce development, and economic empowerment. AOF is employee driven, partnering with organizations that are championed by Apollo team members and pairing each organization with a “Deal Team” of employees to further accelerate impact.
AOF has so far committed $5.2 million to its 22 grant partners, engaging 620+ employees (100+ of whom serve on Deal Teams).
