The Foundation pursues its philanthropic goals through a number of key avenues. It seeks to establish collaborative partnerships—including both financial support and volunteer opportunities for First Eagle employees—with a handful of nonprofit organizations. Most recently, we established such relationships with five nonprofits focused on improving financial literacy in the US, particularly among minority groups: Council for Economic Education, Economic Awareness Council, Women's Money Matters, Working in the Support of Education (W!SE) and Girls Who Invest. We also leverage the Foundation to promote academia and research. First Eagle supports a postdoctoral fellow in the Translational Research Oncology Training Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Meanwhile, our matching gift programs seek to amplify the charitable activities of our colleagues—including the donation of money, time and goods—while better aligning the Foundation’s priorities with theirs, achieving greater total impact in the process. In 2023, $1 out of every $4 committed by the Foundation was directed by First Eagle employees.

In terms of the environment, First Eagle understands the effect our consumption of natural resources in the daily conduct of business can have. We believe we can mitigate this impact through adopting sustainable policies and an environmentally sensitive culture that positively influences the actions of our employees and the firms with which we do business. We have over time sought to reduce our environmental footprint in a variety of ways—for example, introducing recycling programs in our offices, understanding the sustainability practices of the buildings in which we work and evaluating travel alternatives—and we are continuously seeking to improve our behaviors and disclosure conventions as best practices in sustainability continue to evolve.
