Demesha Hill, Head of Diversity and Community Relations at Janus
Henderson Investors, has been appointed President of the Janus
Henderson Foundation, Janus Henderson’s charitable giving arm.
The Janus Henderson Foundation has a long history of charitable
giving that began in 1994. Its primary focus is on supporting
education and financial literacy initiatives, but the Foundation
also helps a variety of other charities in the many regions where
the asset manager does business.
Since its inception, the Janus Henderson Foundation has issued
more than US$47 million in grants to over 330 non-profit
organizations and last year matched more than $350,000 in employee
donations. Janus Henderson believes that by enhancing educational
and financial literacy opportunities, it ultimately helps young
people find fulfilling careers while developing talent who may
someday contribute to its mission – assisting its over 60 million
clients to invest in a brighter future.
Strategic partners include organizations like the Greenwood
Project, Chapter One, and Junior Achievement USA.
The Greenwood Project exposes high-achieving Black and Latino
students to career opportunities in financial services. The
Foundation helps fund these programs, and many of the interns spend
summers working at Janus Henderson Investors.
Chapter One provides one-to-one reading support for school
children and offers access to a free online library. In this
relationship, the Janus Henderson Foundation provides funding and
promotes volunteerism among Janus Henderson Investors’ employees,
which has included employees tutoring and authoring financial
literacy books for the library.
The Foundation provides funding for Junior Achievement’s JA
Titan program, a simulation-based program in which high school
students compete as business CEOs in the phone industry,
experiencing first-hand how executive leadership works.
The Foundation also channels the charitable nature of Janus
Henderson Investors’ employees by matching employee donations and
sponsoring the annual Charity Challenge, a competition where Janus
Henderson employees pitch non-profit organizations to their
colleagues and a panel of judges in pursuit of donation prizes.
Prior to this appointment, Demesha served as the Managing
Director for the Janus Henderson Foundation since 2015.
Demesha Hill, President of the Janus Henderson Foundation,
said: “I’m honored to be entrusted with leading the Janus
Henderson Foundation and look forward to continue working with our
incredible charity partners around the world. The Foundation’s
mission is something I believe in deeply and I have seen the
incredible impact we can have on peoples’ lives when we are
generous with our time and resources.”
Michelle Dunstan, Chief Responsibility Officer at Janus
Henderson Investors, said: “We’re so excited to see Demesha
elevated to the role of President of the Janus Henderson
Foundation. She has a track record of exceptional leadership,
having served as the Foundation’s Managing Director, and we know
she’ll enhance its legacy of investing in innovative educational
programmes that make a meaningful impact in our communities. The
Foundation expands our ability to be a responsible corporate entity
and it could not have a better leader.”
