About Association for Corporate Growth - Group
A defining feature of Association for Corporate Growth - Group’s recent giving is the scale of its merger-related support: in 2023, it made a $2,852,841 grant to itself for MERGER, a figure that stands far above its smaller operating awards. That pattern fits an organization whose stated purpose is to drive middle-market growth and whose focus areas include mergers and acquisitions, private equity, networking and professional development, and education and industry research. The group also uses program-related investments, which adds another tool beyond standard grantmaking. The rest of its recent grants show direct support for mission-adjacent organizations and international service. Junior Achievement of Kentucky received $7,500 for general operations, while the International Committee of the Red Cross received $6,000 for general opeterations. Together, those grants suggest a mix of internal organizational funding and external support for education and humanitarian work, with awards that can be very large at the top end but also extend to modest general operating grants.
