ANNUAL REPORT 2024 – 2025

Saving and Improving Lives Locally and Globally

Bloomberg Philanthropies encompasses all of Michael R. Bloomberg’s giving, including corporate, foundation, and personal philanthropy. We focus on a series of key areas: Public Health, the Arts, Education, the Environment, and Government Innovation, as well as special Founder’s Projects and Bloomberg Associates, a pro bono city consultancy.

The vast majority of the profits from Bloomberg L.P., the global financial technology, data, and media company that Mike founded in 1981, go to support the work of Bloomberg Philanthropies.
