About Factset Charitable Foundation
Factset Charitable Foundation’s largest recent grant was a $300,000 operating-support award to America on Tech Inc in New York, a signal of how the foundation backs tech-skills pathways for young people. Across its recent grant list, the foundation repeatedly supports organizations that connect education to career preparation, with particular attention to college access, leadership development, and STEM-oriented training for underrepresented youth. It also funds higher-education intermediaries and workforce-readiness nonprofits that help students persist through school and move into employment. The pattern is less about many small awards than about a set of sizable, repeated commitments to a narrow group of organizations. The Bottom Line Inc received $250,000 for operating support in 2025 and the same amount in 2024 for core program efficiencies and expansion, showing a preference for scaling established work. Technovation also appears with a large operating-support grant of $150,000 in 2025 after a $98,500 award in 2024, while The Posse Foundation Inc received $100,000 for its STEM program in 2024 and $100,000 again in 2025 for operating support. The foundation’s giving points to education-to-employment pipelines rather than broad, general philanthropy.
What Factset Charitable Foundation Funds
In tech-skills development, Factset Charitable Foundation gave $275,000 in 2024 to America on Tech Inc to support Tech Flex Leader and alumni technology skills fellowship expansion, innovation, and replication, then followed with a $300,000 operating-support grant in 2025. It also supported Technovation with $98,500 in 2024 and $150,000 in 2025. College access and persistence is another clear area. The Bottom Line Inc received $250,000 in 2025 for operating support after a $250,000 award in 2024 to support core program efficiencies and expansion. The Posse Foundation Inc received $100,000 in 2024 for its STEM program and $100,000 in 2025 for operating support. The foundation also funds leadership and workforce pathways.
