Moody’s Foundation, established in 2002, focuses on corporate social investing that aligns with strategic focus areas to contribute to more inclusive and prosperous communities globally. It aims to utilize human, social, and financial capital to support partner organizations in aiding communities significantly impacted by social and economic inequalities and ecological degradation.
The grant program from Moody's Foundation seeks to empower organizations by supporting two main causes: empowering small businesses and ecosystem restoration. The goals include helping small business owners in gaining knowledge, skills, and tools for better prosperity, fostering economic inclusion and job growth, and directing efforts towards underestimated groups. For ecosystem restoration, it focuses on providing resources to communities in emerging markets vulnerable to ecological degradation, aiming to build resilience and safeguard infrastructures, economies, and communities against the impacts of a changing planet.
Moody’s Foundation focuses its support on initiatives and projects that benefit women and underserved communities.
