Hedge Funds Care is an international charity, supported largely by the hedge fund industry, whose sole mission is preventing and treating child abuse. It has 2 goals: • To raise as much money as possible to fund the programs that do the preventing and treating; • To showcase the philanthropy of the hedge fund industry. This mission is accomplished by raising money and granting it to child welfare organizations throughout the United States, Canada, the Cayman Islands, and the United Kingdom. Hedge Funds Care is the only grant making public charity that focuses exclusively on funding this cause. Since its inception in 1998, Hedge Funds Care has awarded over 930 grants totaling more than $33mm. The East Coast Young Professionals Committee was relaunched in early 2012 for rising hedge fund industry leaders under the age of 35.
