About Select Equity Group Foundation
A recurring feature of Select Equity Group Foundation’s grantmaking is support for named scholarship and education programs, with multiple six-figure awards across several years. In 2025, New York University received $300,000 for Primer Grant and another $200,000 for the same program, while The Institute for Responsible Citizenship received $160,000 for SEG Scholars. Those grants sit alongside a broader portfolio that also includes health, civil rights, arts and culture, environmental causes, human services, and international development. The foundation’s recent activity shows a mix of program-specific support and celebration grants tied to particular initiatives. Dream received $150,000 in 2025 for SEG Scholars - Close the Gap, and the group has also supported other education-linked efforts such as Workforce Opportunity Services and Jane Coffin Childs. In health-related work, the foundation has backed organizations serving suicide prevention, hospice care, and reproductive health. The overall pattern points to a funder that uses its grantmaking to support targeted nonprofit programs rather than a single issue area, with employee participation also built into its giving structure through matching gifts.
