When Broadview Capital holds a business for years, the health of its community becomes part of the investment case. The firm acts on that through charitable giving via The Broadview Foundation and through how its companies build, hire, and operate.
Decisions about where support will matter most are made close to each business, by people who know the place. The firm relies on that local knowledge to choose where to give and what to change.
Funding schools in underserved areas and training programs that help working adults gain the skills employers need.
Supporting clinics and health programs that bring care to rural towns and low-income neighborhoods.
Backing small-business programs and housing initiatives that help local economies grow from within.
Connecting students and early-career professionals with experienced mentors in the industries we know.
Sustainability and inclusion as matters of ownership
Broadview Capital treats resource efficiency and access to opportunity as part of owning a business well. We see both as part of how value is created over time.
Each company approaches them in the way its industry and market require. Management teams are expected to address resource use, fair employment, and the range of perspectives within their organizations.
