For more than 40 years, KKR has strived to build better companies and better futures for its investors. At the core, building better is what they aim to do.
They believe in the power of business to drive strong economies, provide local jobs, and support thriving communities. All big businesses were once small businesses, and while KKR’s day-to-day focus is investing in and growing large companies, they recognize the critical importance of small businesses. Small Businesses are important. And right now, due to the impacts of COVID-19, many of them are in crisis.
In response, KKR is proud to launch the KKR Small Business Builders fund. KKR Small Business Builders will provide recovery grants to local companies in communities around the world. They believe that now is the time to invest in our neighborhoods and neighbors in a new way.
