ICG, a global alternative asset manager, has committed £3.75 million over three years to support innovative partnerships with three leading charities committed to improving educational opportunity and driving social mobility.
These new partnerships, with The Access Project, upReach and Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), support important socio-economic themes which are consistent with ICG’s purpose and values, and also align with the firm’s Diversity & Inclusion strategy.
The partnerships extend the geographic reach of ICG’s social investment strategy from the UK into the US and continental Europe, and also across a wider spectrum of academic and career stages, focusing primarily on broadening opportunity for disadvantaged young people in accessing top universities; supporting them through university; and into inspiring early careers.
