Bloomberg Philanthropies
2024
Bloomberg Philanthropies invests in 941 cities and 173 countries around the world focusing on five key areas: the Arts, Education, Environment, Government Innovation, and Public Health. Bloomberg’s investments in public health include major, life-saving initiatives to reduce tobacco and youth e-cigarette use through over $1 billion in investments, support healthy food policy, combat the opioid overdose epidemic, reduce drowning, and improve road safety and maternal health, among others.
In 2016, Bloomberg Philanthropies launched the American Health Initiative at Johns Hopkins University to tackle declining life expectancy in the United States, and in 2017, started the Partnership for Healthy Cities, a global network of 70 cities committed to reducing noncommunicable diseases and injuries. Recently, the organization invested an additional $115 million in global public health nonprofit Resolve to Save Lives—bringing its total investment to $215 million—to continue preventing deaths from heart disease.
Bloomberg Philanthropies encompasses all of Michael R. Bloomberg’s giving, including his foundation, corporate, and personal philanthropy as well as Bloomberg Associates, a pro bono consultancy that works in cities around the world. In 2021, Bloomberg Philanthropies distributed $1.66 billion.
