Whether it’s supporting the arts, investing in education, endowing skills in technology, or helping local communities, IAC is committed to creating positive change, one life at a time. Our giving strategy has always been hyper-local by design, made possible by a network of trusted partners. We aim to go deep versus wide with our resources to make the greatest possible impact on our neighbors and surrounding communities by improving educational and economic opportunities, as evidenced by our work with dozens of charities, including Let’s Get Ready, Project Rousseau, Hudson Guild, and Breakthrough New York. The concept of our philanthropic programs evolved from years of collaboration with partners like these. The IAC Fellows Program and the IAC Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program thread together these efforts to break down barriers to opportunity for students from historically and systemically underrepresented communities.

About IAC
IAC builds companies. We are guided by curiosity, a questioning of the status quo, and a desire to invent or acquire new products and brands. From the single seed that started as IAC over two decades ago have emerged 11 public companies and generations of exceptional leaders. We will always evolve, but our basic principle of financially disciplined opportunism will never change. IAC today operates Dotdash Meredith and Care.com, among many others, and has majority ownership of Angi Inc, which includes HomeAdvisor Powered by Angi and Handy. The company is headquartered in New York City and has business operations and satellite offices worldwide.
