SOURCE OF WEALTH: Goldman Sachs, Hayfin Capital Management, TowerBrook Capital Partners
FUNDING AREAS: Arts & Culture, Health, Education & Youth
OVERVIEW: Richard and Susan Hayden, and family move their philanthropy through the Hayden Family Foundation, which gave away around $325,000 in 2018. The family focuses on the arts through their foundation. New York City is a region of giving.
BACKGROUND: Richard Michael Hayden has a bachelor’s in economics from Georgetown University and an MBA from Wharton. He joined Goldman Sachs in 1969 and was deputy chairman of Goldman Sachs International. Hayden was chairman of Hayfin Capital Management and is currently chairman of the TowerBrook senior advisory board.
ISSUES:
ARTS & CULTURE: Susan Hayden is on the board of MoMA PS1 in Queens, which the family steadily support. Other grantees have included Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, The Met, Studio in a School, MoMA, Whitney Museum, and Tate Americas Foundation. The Haydens appear to focus on contemporary art.
OTHER: Hayden has supported his alma mater Georgetown University. Funds have gone to Nature Conservancy, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Central Park Conservancy, and Boy Scouts of America.
LOOKING FORWARD: The Haydens also direct smaller grants to various charitable organizations that are not disclosed on annual tax records. This obscures the full scope of the family’s giving.
