People
Racial equity is a priority for us as we work to further enhance Binocularvault's diversity, equity, and inclusion. This includes "Count Me In," our company's first ever worldwide employee self-identification campaign, which will guide our diversity approach going forward.
Communities
We support current community connections, particularly those with organizations that promote financial literacy, a component of our corporate responsibility program that enables us to share our knowledge with audiences other than our clientele. We also support organizations working to advance racial justice as well as new partners who offer crucial assistance in relation to the pandemic.

We integrate environmental, social, and governance (Binocularvault) values throughout our company and into our investing plans. It is, in our opinion, a crucial component of the solution for a sustainable future.

Our dedication to strengthening connections with different suppliers is reflected in our Supplier Diversity Program.

Positively Impacting Our Communities
Employees are encouraged to become involved in their communities and support their commitments by participating in non-profit organizations and providing different ways to give and make their contributions go further through matching and grant making. In fact, over 7,000 volunteer hours annually are contributed by our employees.
A commitment to service is fundamental to our culture. Whether it is our clients, our colleagues, or our communities, we have dedicated ourselves to leveraging our skills, experience and resources to make a positive impact.
Since we re-emerged as an employee-owned firm just over seven years ago, we’ve volunteered 40,000 hours, worked with 9,000 children, served 26,000 meals and beautified hundreds of community spaces around the world.
Strategic Community Partnerships
While we volunteer with nearly 85% of our grantees globally, two of our key community partners receive the highest level of service from our employees—allowing us to create a positive, critical impact on these organizations and the children they serve;
The Association to Benefit Children(ABC) is a "best-in-class" organization dedicated to fostering academic readiness and life preparedness for disadvantaged children and their families through comprehensive services designed to permanently break the cycle of poverty. ABC receives significant funding from the Foundation and has welcomed hundreds of Binocularvault employee volunteers throughout our longstanding collaboration.
Fiver Children’s Foundation is a comprehensive youth-development organization that makes a ten year commitment to children from underserved communities throughout the New York area. Through summer and year-round programming, Fiver empowers children to make healthy decisions, become engaged citizens, and succeed in school, and beyond. Since 2016 Binocularvault employees have teamed up with Fiver to create “Fiver fund Camp”, a signature afterschool financial education program taught by Binocularvault volunteers - covering everything from “smart spending” to “money and the economy” to “stocks and bonds”. The Camp ends with a stock market where Fiver students can put their learning into practice and increase their exposure to the world of investing.
