Community Support
Commitment to community is a central tenant in the U.S. Growth Funds philosophy. Life balance and evidence of “commitment to something greater than self ” are strongly encouraged at all levels. The companies we acquire often have a long history of deep community involvement. USGF is respectful of those pre-existing community relationships and often continues to provide financial support and leadership resources to those that make a meaningful difference.
Fund Partners, as well as Management Partners, at USGF Portfolio Companies are encouraged to dedicate a meaningful part of their personal time in community service. USGF provides financial support to the community based and national non-profit organizations that our partners and employees choose to support with their time.
The extent of personal involvement by USGF employees is a critical determining factor in all charitable contributions approved by the USGF contributions committee. In addition, USGF fund partners are encouraged to contribute a meaningful portion of any gains realized during major liquidity events from the sale of investment assets. Consequently, our most meaningful charitable contributions are typically event driven, and somewhat sporadic.
