ABOUT US

Bloomberg Philanthropies works to create catalytic change across five areas of focus: arts and culture, education, the environment, government innovation, and public health. Our mission is to ensure better, longer lives for the greatest number of people. Our approach is rooted in Mike Bloomberg's unique experience and success across the field of business, government, and philanthropy.  

THE GREENWOOD INITIATIVE

Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Greenwood Initiative is a philanthropic effort to catalyze wealth accumulation across generations for Black families and address decades of underinvestment and wealth extraction in Black communities nationwide. Partnering with individuals, communities and institutions, the Greenwood Initiative uses data to develop and implement ambitious and innovative strategies that advance racial wealth equity. Through its partnerships and convening power, the first-ever Bloomberg Philanthropies portfolio dedicated to racial wealth equity aims to create the conditions for more Black people to acquire resources, expand community ownership and increase their influence through economic power.  

Bloomberg Philanthropies has long been committed to improving quality of life and increasing equitable access to opportunity in communities across the world.  

To date, the portfolio has invested $896 million which includes a $600 million gift to the endowments of the nation’s four historically Black medical schools – building on a previous investment of $100 million to these schools to reduce the debt of future Black doctors. The Greenwood Initiative is also working to empower local leaders to drive racial wealth equity agendas; ensure the equitable transfer of Black wealth across generations; expand access to comprehensive wealth data disaggregated by race; and has invested in childhood savings accounts for kindergarteners in Brooklyn.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
