Celebrating Three Decades of Impact: The Janus Henderson Foundation Marks its 30th Anniversary with over US$48 Million Donated to Grassroots Charities

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Janus Henderson Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Janus Henderson Investors, today celebrates its 30th anniversary. Since 1994, the Foundation has made positive and lasting impacts on communities worldwide by contributing over US$48 million to strategic partnerships, volunteering, and charitable causes.

While the Foundation has always focused on education and first offered four-year college scholarships to at-risk youth, its mission has evolved into investing in a brighter future by helping youth achieve their full potential through educational and financial literacy initiatives, supporting grassroots causes in regions where Janus Henderson operates, as well as supporting the ideas and passions of employees. Since its inception, the Foundation鈥檚 educational grants have supported over 830,000 students.

The Foundation has always empowered employees to actively participate in philanthropy, fostering a culture of giving and community engagement. Since 2016, the global Janus Henderson Charity Challenge has allowed employees to nominate and vote on charities for the Foundation to support. Nominations to this program have resulted in US$1,928,716 donated to 370 charities worldwide. This unique employee fundraising model in addition to Janus Henderson鈥檚 matching gift program, ensures the Foundation鈥檚 efforts are directed towards causes that resonate with employees. The Foundation has also received several awards for innovative approaches to philanthropy.

Major region-specific Foundation achievements include:

Our Foundation's success is a testament to the passion and generosity of our employees, and the resilience and dedication of the charities we support. We are proud of what we have achieved together and are committed to continuing our mission of making meaningful, lasting contributions to society."
