Sustainability Efforts
Aligning Our Parent Company SWC and its Affiliates with U.N. Sustainable Development Goals
The SWS Foundation
The Siebert Williams Shank Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Shank Williams Cisneros (SWC) family of companies. It was established in 2020 with the mission of helping advance equity and equality, particularly in those communities we serve and in which we operate. Among other important causes, the Foundation has made significant contributions for disaster relief in the United States, to end extreme poverty internationally, and to increase access to education and opportunity for disadvantaged communities.
Quality Education
Hands-on mentorship by sponsoring and directly engaging with students in a variety of educational programs. Funding educational opportunities for people from underserved communities is a priority of the SWS Foundation.
Decent Work & Economic Growth
Clear Vision Impact Fund, our affiliate, launched March 2021, provides impact private credit to MBEs, businesses that operate in/serve the underserved, and/or businesses that foster inclusive growth via commercially sustainable business models.
