NEW YORK – June 21, 2021
Portfolios with Purpose (‘PwP’) was founded in 2012 to unite the
investment community through Philanthropy. Since then, the 501 (c)(3) non-profit has become
a vibrant ecosystem of investors, learners and industry thought leaders with a shared mission
of creating a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible investment community.
Signing on as PwP’s official sponsor of the Fellowship program is Brown Advisory — an
independent investment management and strategic advisory firm responsible for over $100
billion in client assets. This new partnership aligns Brown Advisory and PwP’s respective
commitments to creating positive industry change.
“Brown Advisory is built on a foundation of sustainability. We’re focused on tangible actions
that will have a positive impact on our industry, and our partnership with PwP aligns with our
belief that everyone has a right to understand the mechanics of money, and invest in
companies they believe in,” said Hi Roberts of Brown Advisory.
Brown Advisory’s sponsorship will support the PwP Fellowship— a two-week instructor-led
curriculum covering the fundamentals of investing for Gen Z learners across diverse
backgrounds. During the fellowship, participants will collaborate with industry thought leaders,
employers, peers, and alumni, with a chance to win an educational stipend.
