William Blair Global Community Partners

Our signature employee-inspired program where select organizations receive catalytic financial and human capital.

A key component of William Blair's mission is to engage in our communities. Our employee-inspired philanthropic approach empowers our colleagues to actively invest in the communities where we live and work. Through employee engagement initiatives in each global office, our colleagues around the world are making a difference.

William Blair’s signature Global Community Partners program allows us to differentiate and invest in organizations through which our donations create catalytic change through significant and skills-based volunteer opportunities.

Employee-led committees and working groups drive the structure and strategy of William Blair’s global engagement initiatives. Financial empowerment for first and next-generational wealth earners, increasing access to capital for diverse entrepreneurs, and career development opportunities for youth are examples of the depth of our global Community Engagement programs.
