Economy and Business News

Among successful businessmen, Alex Von Furstenberg is one of those who have a true concern for the society. Proof to this is his recent dedication to the Heal the Bay water quality program which has been going on for three years now. Heal the Bay is proud and blessed to have Arrow Capital’s Chief Investment Officer Alex von Furstenberg  as their partner in their modest and honest intents of cleaning the bay waters.

On personal grounds, one of the reasons that attracted and convinces von Furstenberg in coming up with a partnership with Heal the Bay is that fact that he is an avid kite-surfer who spends a lot of time in Malibu’s beaches. He felt that it was his responsibility to take care and protect the ocean for the coming generations and believed that it will give him personal satisfaction upon doing so.

He immediately met with Heal the Bay president Mark Gold and initiated to help for the funding and from then on through the Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation; he made a commitment to spend time and resources to the organization’s Beach Report Card. The Beach Report Card is a monitor where people can see the current status of the water. This is also open to the public who wants to participate in helping with the cleanup. The report card also features news forecast on the coast area.

Aside from the Heal the Bay participation, von Furstenberg also finances institution and organizations in need of funding. Areas include education, health, community building, human rights, arts, humanities and environment. These are some of the things that make him even busier than he already was. Specifically, these are some of the institutions which they have bestowed notable contributions: Big Brothers / Big Sisters of America, Central Park Conservancy, Comfort Zone Camp, Motion Picture & Television Fund (Social Workers), NYC Police Foundation,  Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation, Citymeals-on-Wheels, Heart of Los Angeles Youth, Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, Human Rights Campaign, Human Rights Watch, International Women’s Media Foundation, International Rescue Committee and Oxfam America.

It was quite refreshing to discover that even an Austrian royalty house member such as Alex von Furstenberg is making efforts in helping a country even though he is not a native citizen. Together with the entire Diller-von Furstenberg Family Foundation, he will humbly be at the beck and call in providing financial assistance to various noble causes who deserves to be helped.
