Community Leadership
Piper Jaffray is a client-focused, global investment bank and institutional securities firm. Founded in 1895, our mission is to be the most trusted investment bank in our areas of expertise. Since our founding, we've kept our company solidly rooted in our time-tested core values. These values ensure we stay a course of integrity, client focus and community partnership, regardless of the markets' ups and downs. In these unprecedented economic times, we remain committed to our clients, our colleagues and the communities where we do business.
As an embodiment of this commitment, Piper Jaffray contributes five percent of its pre-tax earnings to the community as part of the Minnesota Keystone Program, a voluntary initiative founded more than 25 years ago that promotes corporate support for communities. This is a strong differentiator for us and is, simply, the right thing to do. We believe our stakeholders and members of the broader community prosper within healthy, sustainable environments. That's why our funding guidelines are strategically focused to synergize with our business, as well as real community needs.
