The Katz Amsterdam Foundation

The Katz Amsterdam Foundation strives to be a catalyst for eliminating barriers to health, increasing access to opportunity, and improving outcomes for all. To advance progress further and at a faster rate, we go beyond traditional philanthropy. We pair grantmaking with impact investing, working at the intersection of philanthropy and venture to help accelerate the pace of progress towards a more sustainable, equitable future. We fund for-profit, social impact funds and entrepreneurs that are committed to social change and improving human or climate well-being at scale. We believe that capital markets can act as a strong mechanism for tackling significant societal challenges like closing access gaps, increasing opportunities for diverse populations, eliminating barriers to quality healthcare, and improving environmental outcomes. Since 2016, the Katz Amsterdam Foundation and Charitable Trust have awarded over $68 million in grants, and as of 2024, we have committed over $25 million in impact investments to private capital entities that are transforming industries while advancing positive change.
