Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors’ principals and many employees have made charitable giving an important part of their lives for many years. In 2011, we formed the Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors Foundation (KACAF) in order to:

Embody the charitable spirit inherent in our company’s culture
Encourage employees to increase their individual giving and participation in charitable activities
Provide an organized way to make charitable contributions

Our emphasis is to donate to those charities that help society’s most disadvantaged—whether economically, physically, educationally, or socially.

The Foundation has been proud to embody the charitable spirit inherent in our company’s culture, and we are dedicated to furthering our tradition of giving back to the communities in which we live and work.

Mission & Purpose

We are focused on supporting non-profit organizations that our employees are passionate about and committed to via financial support by Employee matching or Direct grants or hands-on support through volunteering opportunities.

The foundation dedicates time and resources to important areas such as education, job-force training, and civil engagement, which in turn benefits the communities at large.

We have a three-pronged strategy which includes:

Direct grants
Employee matching
Volunteering

Employee matching program

The foundation matches employee donations up to $5,000 per employee household per year to eligible 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations. The program provides a one-to-one match for every dollar an employee or an employee’s spouse or registered domestic partner contributes.

Direct support program

Our direct grants program supports Kayne Anderson’s mandate for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by aligning with organizations that offer education, mentorship, and job-force training to surrounding communities.

Volunteering

The firm provides 24 hours (three days) of paid time off to volunteer at organizations our employees are passionate about. We work with non-profit organizations to provide group volunteer opportunities across the United States.
