Janus Henderson Foundation Bolsters Education Initiatives With Over US$1.35 M of Grants Planned For 2022

Business Wire
The Janus Henderson Foundation, Janus Henderson Investors’
charitable giving arm, has established agreements to award more
than US$1.35 million to charity partners around the globe in 2022,
much of which is earmarked for financial literacy and other
education initiatives.
About $800,000 of the grants will stay in the U.S., benefiting
charities like Junior Achievement, Denver Kids, the Denver
Scholarship Foundation, Region 9 of the National Head Start
Association, Breakthrough at Kent Denver, Innovations for Learning
and the Young Americans Center for Financial Education.
In the UK, about $550,000 will go to Junior Achievement,
Greenhouse Sports, Debate Mate, Causeway Education, and the Just
Finance Foundation. And in Australia, about $50,000 was awarded to
Musicians Making a Difference.
While the Janus Henderson Foundation supports many charities in
the regions it does business in, it generally focuses on education
initiatives, with a history of giving that started in 1994. As an
example of the work the foundation is supporting in Denver, where
Janus Henderson’s U.S. headquarters is located, it issued a
multi-year grant to Denver Kids and the Denver Scholarship
Foundation to help the organizations collaborate on providing
career and pre-collegiate mentoring and help students with
scholarships as they transition to technical, community, and
four-year colleges and universities.
President of the Janus Henderson Foundation, Tiphani Kruger,
said, “It’s an exciting time of year for us because we get to
establish grant partnerships that we feel will have a big impact on
lives of young learners and other community members across the
globe. Many of our long-time partners have already made meaningful,
measurable strides toward improving education outcomes for students
and enhancing financial literacy. We look forward to seeing all of
the great progress that will be spurred by these new grants.”
Chief Executive Officer of the Denver Scholarship Foundation,
Lorri Rabinowitz, said, "With the Janus Henderson Foundation's
generous support, Denver Scholarship Foundation (DSF) helps to make
college possible by supporting Denver Public Schools students and
families with tools, knowledge, and financial resources. DSF is
incredibly appreciative of our ongoing partnership with the Janus
Henderson Foundation, which helps provide services to and through
college completion for over 10 DSF Scholars every year. These
services, alongside the unwavering resiliency, tenacity, and
determination of our students, are the keys to college, and life,
success."
Since its inception, the Janus Henderson Foundation has issued
more than US$45 million in grants to non-profit organizations and
since 2010 has matched more than $2,914 million in employee
donations to more than 1635 charities.
