Banks & financial companies
Wall Street's response to October 7 was fast and well-documented. Blackstone pledged roughly $7 million combining its charitable foundation and senior partners; Goldman Sachs pledged $2 million and matched employee gifts at up to 3-to-1; Bank of America donated to Magen David Adom, Leket Israel, and United Hatzalah — then doubled its commitment two weeks later. Finance-sector support runs heavily through employee matching programs, so the entries below distinguish corporate money, foundation money, and matched employee giving.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the banks' own money or their employees'?
Both, and we label which is which. Corporate pledges (like Goldman Sachs' $2 million) are the institution's money; matching programs multiply employee gifts with corporate funds; and foundation grants (like Blackstone Charitable Foundation's $3 million) come from a legally separate entity. Each entry's type and description make the distinction explicit.
Do banks report these donations anywhere official?
Foundation giving appears in IRS Form 990 filings, which are public and which we cite where available. Direct corporate giving has no mandatory disclosure in the US, so those records come from company announcements and news coverage — always linked.
