About

The Apollo Opportunity Foundation is a philanthropic organization launched in 2022 by Apollo Global Management, a global alternative investment management firm. The foundation was established to expand economic opportunity and support communities where Apollo employees live and work around the world. Apollo committed more than $100 million to the foundation, with plans to invest these resources over a decade in nonprofit organizations that advance career education, workforce development and economic empowerment. Its approach combines charitable funding with employee participation, professional expertise and organizational partnerships. By supporting programs that address barriers to education and employment, the foundation aims to help individuals develop practical skills, pursue meaningful careers and improve their long-term economic prospects.

The foundation's grantmaking focuses on career education, workforce readiness, professional development and economic inclusion. It partners with nonprofit organizations that provide educational opportunities, career preparation, mentorship, technical training and pathways to employment for underserved populations. Its supported initiatives include programs that introduce young people to STEM subjects, help students prepare for careers and provide employment-related training for veterans and other groups facing barriers to opportunity. The foundation also encourages Apollo employees to participate in grant selection, volunteering, mentoring and skills-based support for nonprofit partners. This employee-driven approach combines financial contributions with practical expertise to strengthen the organizations it supports. Through these investments and partnerships, the Apollo Opportunity Foundation seeks to broaden access to career opportunities, promote economic mobility and contribute to more inclusive and resilient communities.
