Greater Share

Who we are

Greater Share is a new philanthropic investment platform that aims to connect the world’s top-performing private equity funds with high-impact non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Greater Share invests in best-in-class private equity funds screened for ESG criteria with a pledge to share at least 50 percent of the gains with high-impact education NGOs with general partners also donating 100 percent of their associated fees and carry. Its first fund, worth $52M, supports eight NGOs that have missions to close the education equity gap for students from cradle to career in underserved communities around the world.
