The LibertyGives Foundation is a Colorado non-profit organization formed by Liberty Media in 2007 to encourage and promote charitable giving. In 2010, the LibertyGives Foundation established a permanent theme for corporate giving: to support charities that address the needs of underprivileged youth in Colorado, with a focus on proactive and preventative services. All recipient organizations have a Liberty Media employee who is actively engaged with the entity and acts as a sponsor on its behalf.
We actively promote the values of giving and philanthropy among our employee base. Since its inception, the LibertyGives Foundation has contributed over $11 million to various recipient organizations. However, the reach of LibertyGives extends beyond these monetary contributions. Liberty Media employees are actively involved in the organizations for which they act as a sponsor, often through volunteer work and board representation, and this investment of time is often far more impactful than our investment of dollars. Additionally, we offer all employees a 1:1 match on charitable contributions up to a limit of $10,000 per employee per year.
In 2024:
- Contributions were made to 97 organizations.
- Donations totaled $776,000 including LibertyGives grants going to 26 organizations.
- Over half of our employees participated in the Liberty Match Program, donating $196k, totaling $392k.
- Liberty employees and contractors continue to be a huge support to Clothes to Kids, donating to a Back to School drive.
- Liberty Media’s annual Treasury Fundraiser for MOVEmber brought in over $27k to support MD Anderson’s Neurology department in support of the amazing work they are doing to battle brain cancer.
