"We believe that we've gone from a reactive market to a more proactive market. If a CEO and a board of directors are looking around at other companies and they're looking at the capital dynamics, both in terms of raising money and in providing liquidity programs formally, that environment has shifted pretty significantly in the last few years." Kelly Rodriques, Forge CEO, discusses how Forge is meeting this shift in the market. https://bit.ly/3UyqhG2

This month, Forge held a fundraiser for Ukraine, during which our employees heard first-hand stories from our friends and colleagues whose lives and lives of loved ones have been upended by the war in their homeland.

From a mother who had to flee with her toddler son and leave her husband to fight, to a family sheltering refugees and working to get loved ones out of Ukraine and reunited in the US, the direct and traumatic impact of the war is heartbreaking.
Contributions to St. John’s Benevolent Fund in partnership with Palms of Trust will provide humanitarian aid to displaced Ukrainians in Moldova, directly helping families, the elderly, and children with disabilities get access to shelter, food, clothing, medicine, and much more.

Thank you to our team and partners who have donated to this important cause. We’d also like to extend appreciation to our Ukrainian friends and colleagues for sharing their moving stories with us and giving us a better understanding of the impact of this complicated and tragic situation on their lives and families.
