(HedgeCo) Since 2013 Agecroft Partners has committed to improving the lives of children through donating 100% of the profits from its conferences. Through the end of 2018 Agecroft Partners expects to have contributed over $700,000 to non-profits that benefit children, moving closer to its $1 million goal. Gaining the Edge – 2018 Hedge Fund Investor Leadership Conference will take place in New York City on November 5-6, 2018.

Agecroft Partners has chosen four non-profit organizations to be the primary beneficiaries of the event. The four primary beneficiaries of Gaining the Edge 2018 are Help For Children/Hedge Funds Care, The Peter Paul Development Center, Elk Hill, and the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls.

Help for Children is a global foundation that provides grants to the most effective and efficient child abuse prevention and treatment interventions in six countries, making the world a safer place for children. The Peter Paul Development Center is an outreach and community center that gives children a safe, consistent, structured and loving environment in which to thrive. Elk Hill is an outreach program and school which serves at risk children through intervention, hands on support, and schooling to develop sustainable long term life skills. The Virginia Home for Boys and Boys and Girls helps children with emotional and behavior health concerns by providing a nurturing environment and family teaching approach to facilitate a healing process.

In addition to supporting these four nonprofit organizations, Agecroft has donated conference profits to over a dozen other organizations focused on supporting troubled youth, children’s health, and children’s education. Agecroft Partners has provided not only financial support, but has also contributed their time, serving on the boards of more than half of these organizations.
