As part of the firm’s COVID-19 community response, we have deployed over $38 million in philanthropic support to the hardest-hit communities globally, comprised of two employee-driven efforts.
The firm launched the Goldman Sachs COVID-19 Relief Fund, initially as a $25 million philanthropic commitment through Goldman Sachs Gives to support relief efforts around the world. In addition, the firm committed $5 million to match employee donations to nonprofit organizations.

Ensuring providers have access to supplies and facilities, and communities have access to accurate medical information and support
Including homeless people, elderly people, and the financially disadvantaged
Support for workers without health insurance or paid time off and gig economy workers
Assistance with childcare and education in the wake of school closures due to the pandemic
Including testing and treatment scalability as well as vaccine development
