Core offering

Arison Group is a privately held global business and philanthropic enterprise that conducts and manages its business ventures through Arison Investments Ltd. — encompassing real estate, infrastructure, and financial investments — while simultaneously operating a portfolio of philanthropic and community-focused initiatives through the Ted Arison Family Foundation and affiliated organizations. All activities are unified under the group's proprietary "Doing Good Model" framework, which integrates commercial investment with social impact.

Product overview

Arison Group is a global business and philanthropic conglomerate structured as a collection of related initiatives rather than a unified technology product. The group is organized into three main pillars: Arison Investments (the investment arm managing business ventures), the Ted Arison Family Foundation (philanthropic activities), and various vision ventures/initiatives including Good Deeds Day, Ruach Tova, Mahuti, Radio Mahut, ARPORT, and Goodnet. The group operates under the 'Doing Good Model' framework, which embeds human values into all investments and activities. SAFO represents cultural facilities in New York and Miami. The portfolio includes media (radio), art, community service, and purpose-driven initiatives across Israel and internationally.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Ford Foundation: One of the largest US foundations with a global grantmaking footprint and a long history of mission-driven investing. Comparable to Arison Group as a legacy foundation combining philanthropy with values-based investing, though at vastly greater scale.
• Pritzker Private Capital: Family-office investment vehicle of the Pritzker family combining operating-company investments with philanthropy. Comparable as a single-family-owned investment platform spanning business ventures and charitable activity under one corporate umbrella.
• Rockefeller Foundation: Historic family-founded foundation funding global health, sustainability, and equity initiatives. Comparable in its combination of inherited family wealth, values-driven mission, and international philanthropic platform anchored by a recognizable family brand.
• Open Society Foundations: Founded by George Soros, Open Society is a global philanthropic and impact-investing network combining foundations, grants, and impact investments across dozens of countries. Directly comparable to Arison Group as a founder-led family foundation operating internationally under a values-driven investing philosophy.
• Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: The world's largest private foundation, combining massive grantmaking with program-related investments. Comparable to Arison Group's structure of a founder-led foundation with an embedded investing philosophy, though at vastly larger scale.

Others

• Giuliani Partners / Family Office advisory peers: Family-office advisory and operating platforms serving ultra-high-net-worth families. Comparable as adjacent service providers that compete for family-office capital and engagement in the impact-investing advisory space.

Emerging players

• Benevity: Corporate-purpose and employee-engagement platform powering corporate giving, volunteering, and grant programs. Comparable as a technology platform that could both compete with and partner alongside Arison Group's Good Deeds Day and Goodnet volunteer-matching initiatives.

Direct peers

• Edmond de Rothschild Foundation: Philanthropic arm of the Edmond de Rothschild family, focused on education, social inclusion, and the arts with strong Israeli ties. Comparable as a family-controlled philanthropic and impact-investing platform with cultural-arts programming similar to Arison's Artport and SAFO initiatives.
• Yad Hanadiv (Rothschild Foundation): Israeli philanthropic foundation established by the Rothschild family, funding civic, educational, and cultural initiatives in Israel and globally. Highly comparable as a prominent Israeli family-owned philanthropic foundation with similar cultural-venture activity (SAFO centers) and a comparable geographic-cultural mandate.

Regional players

• Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (Jewish National Fund): Israel's largest philanthropic land-development and environmental organization, combining donations, environmental investing, and cultural-community programming. Comparable to Arison Group's blend of Israeli-rooted philanthropy, land/community development (similar to SAFO), and values-driven operating model.
