The Penserra Foundation

Championing Education as a Pathway to Equity and Opportunity

In January 2021, Penserra CEO Jorge (George) Madrigal and the firm’s partnership launched the Penserra Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing educational opportunities for underserved communities. The Foundation is committed to empowering youth through access to quality education, scholarships, internships, fellowships, and financial literacy programs. By supporting academic achievement and lifelong learning, the Penserra Foundation seeks to create lasting, positive change in the lives of young individuals and their communities.

Penserra has donated to a host of charitable organizations across the country since it was founded in 2007. The Penserra Foundation, as part of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit platform, will provide an independent, philanthropic entity through which Penserra can consolidate its community nonprofit grants and eliminate any potential conflicts with the firm’s business dealings. Over time, the Foundation strives to implement an independent fundraising strategy to complement and expand previous contributions made by Penserra.

Penserra and its affiliate entities recognize the communities in which it operates as primary stakeholders in its success. In alignment with its mission, the Penserra Foundation provides necessary resources and support to organizations that resonate with the values of our firm.

Proceeds from the Penserra Foundation will be dedicated to empowering youth through education—funding scholarship programs, promoting financial literacy, supporting educational opportunities, and advancing community initiatives that address barriers to learning.
