Bridging the gap between profit and purpose.

Good business and doing good go hand-in-hand.

At Rothschild Capital Partners, we believe that empathy and engagement catalyze purpose and lead to connection. Integrating purpose, profit, engagement, and civil discourse can mitigate polarization and facilitate a journey from feeling divided to feeling united. Moreover, engagement and purpose including sustainability, justice, and diversity enhance long-term business performance and reduce risk.

The Rothschild Foundation catalyzes innovation in engagement and social impact with a focus on:

Career Training and College Scholarships

Catalyzing Engagement in Education and Business

Experiential Education for the Common Good

Experiential Philanthropy

The Arts

The Rothschild Foundation, a private foundation, believes that people inspired by direct experience with social and philanthropic activities are more likely to develop a lifelong commitment to social good.

‍The Rothschild family has long had a deep commitment to addressing the root causes of all forms of inequality, and focuses on organizations that support educational opportunities, community well-being, and the arts.

We have found that integrating engagement and experience with purpose in curriculum inspires a commitment to service while enhancing student well-being, resilience, and performance. Meanwhile, profit and business discipline within purpose-driven organizations amplifies impact and results. Our key focus area is experiential philanthropic and civic engagement integrated into curriculum.
