Community involvement

Community Involvement

At Natixis Investment Managers, we believe it’s our civic responsibility to help improve the quality of life in the communities where we live and work. A robust philanthropic initiative coupled with our community involvement program, Together for Better®, combines our organizational resources and our employees’ dedication, talents, and passions together with the collective power of our community partners to fulfill this important mission.

We focus our efforts particularly on ensuring educational access and enhancement, and allocating career-related resources to help provide individuals with the necessary tools to achieve their own personal success. This mission corresponds with our business goal of helping investors to live better financial lives. We furthermore support increasing diversity within our industry, and we view many of our partnerships as a step in that direction.

A comprehensive approach

We believe our multi-faceted approach to giving is distinctive in that we give in the broadest sense – via financial support and actively giving of our skills, talents, and, most importantly, our time.

Our collaboration with the core charitable partners listed below – local nonprofit human service providers, housing shelters, volunteer groups, community support, educational programming, and schools – aims to assist the most vulnerable populations. We work to enhance educational experiences and opportunities by providing direct support in mentoring and reading programs, supplying computer equipment, undertaking improvement projects, funding scholarships for students, and supporting career skills and success in various forms.

Academy of the Pacific Rim

A nationally recognized free public charter school in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood offering a rigorous college prep program for 5th–12th graders. Their stated mission is to empower students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds to achieve their intellectual and social potential with “a focused mind and a big heart” and to prepare them to succeed in post-secondary education, careers, and civic life.

 

Our relationship with APR was initiated in 2020 by our MADE (Multi-Cultural & Diversity Engagement) Employee Resource Group (ERG). Events in 2020 compelled MADE members to seek out a partner whose focus and philosophy aligned with our own.

Bottom Line

Since 1997, Bottom Line has addressed the low college graduation rates of first-generation students from low-income backgrounds. It was founded on the belief that, in order to succeed, students need a mentor and a guide during the college application process and throughout college.
 

Bottom Line partners with thousands of degree-aspiring students from under-resourced communities as they get into college, graduate, and go far in life. Its vision is to create a far-reaching ripple effect – fueled by the transformative power of a college degree and a mobilizing first career – that will uplift individuals, families, and entire communities.
 

Bottom Line currently serves over 7,000 students through two primary programs: College Access and College Success in Boston, New York City, Chicago, and Ohio.

Life Learning Academy logo

A public charter high school that supports the social and emotional health of youth who may not have succeeded in larger public schools. LLA aims to ensure students’ academic achievement, employability, and capacity to live healthy successful lives in a welcoming, safe environment. Based on core principles of real-world learning, reciprocal restitution, and accountability, LLA has succeeded in reducing truancy rates, and increased both graduation and college enrollment rates.

 

We are excited to undertake one of our newest partnerships with LLA in their efforts to support students that have faced adversity. They aim to meet students' needs under one roof, from basic needs like food, to job placement and academic opportunities. One of our early initiatives was funding the school’s food ecology program, supporting the students’ efforts to gather food from their own garden and prepare meals for their classmates. An upcoming goal is to build curriculum around financial literacy.

John Winthrop Elementary School

A grade school for kids from pre-K to grade 6. The student body is diverse and from a relatively economically disadvantaged neighborhood. This is one of Natixis’ most effective and longstanding partnerships, dating back to 2012.

 

Our relationship was notable at its inception as a rare example of corporate engagement with a single school. Our commitment began with computer, iPad, and supply donations to bolster the school’s educational and art programming. Over the past ten years, we’ve worked to help Winthrop effect sustainable, positive change via both corporate funding and volunteer events such as mentoring and reading, beautification activities for the school’s grounds and gardens, and Frosty’s Friends – our holiday gift-giving program.

Employee involvement and leadership

A fundamental component of our philanthropic model is our employees’ collaborative project work and being directly involved with our “community partners.” A dedicated team of Natixis “Champions” partners with each organization’s staff to spearhead a unique road map of solutions. A tailored annual plan ensures ongoing and changing needs are addressed, combining the appropriate mix of financial contributions – both corporate and employee – in-kind donations, employee expertise, resources and networks, mentoring, staff training, and more.

We have worked to create a philanthropic model that engages and collaborates with our community partners to ensure Natixis’ efforts are aligned with their goals and maximized to generate the strongest results possible. We believe an open and interactive working relationship enables us to provide the kind of direct and specific support that these organizations need from their corporate partners.
