\"\"<\/a>New York\u00a0\u2013 Hedge fund giant SkyBridge Capital, the producers of the SkyBridge Alternatives (SALT) Conference, announced that they have established\u00a0The Aspire Giving Foundation<\/a>\u00a0to raise awareness and capital for organizations that provide underserved populations with the tools needed to achieve their aspirations.<\/p>\n

The Foundation\u2019s launch will be marked with an evening of philanthropy and entertainment – featuring a performance by Grammy winners\u00a0Maroon 5\u00a0– on Wednesday, May 9, 2012, during SALT 2012 at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Aspire Giving is comprised of partnerships with a select group of non-profit organizations that address the Foundation\u2019s vision. Aspire Giving\u2019s current partners include:\u00a0charity:water, which brings clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations;\u00a0Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), which empowers students to own their educations in and out of the classroom by providing entrepreneurship education programs relevant to the real world; and\u00a0Warrior Gateway, which connects individuals in the military community with organizations and programs (non-profit, government, educational or employment-related) in their neighborhood that are there to support them. Although all current and future charities partnering with Aspire Giving have their own distinct mission, each reflects the Foundation\u2019s core mission to:<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Promote entrepreneurialism, innovation and economic development;<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Facilitate access to health systems, educational opportunities and lifesaving necessities;<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Empower underserved and historically disadvantaged populations, communities and its citizens as to improve their quality of life; and<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Advance human rights, eliminate disparities and reduce poverty and hunger.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhilanthropy has always been a fundamental part of SkyBridge\u2019s culture and we have thought long about how best to establish a foundation that would provide underserved communities with the appropriate resources to advance their goals and aspirations,\u201d said Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner and founder of SkyBridge. \u201cWe support the great work that is being done by charity:water, NFTE and Warrior Gateway, and are excited for the opportunities that Aspire Giving will provide going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

All registered SALT 2012 delegates will be invited to attend this exclusive event. There are also a wide range of sponsorship and VIP packages, including backstage passes to meet Maroon 5, access to the concert VIP lounge and invites to premiere SALT parties. However, due to overwhelming demand, SALT 2012 registration closed early on April 20, 2012.<\/p>\n
