Franklin Templeton Celebrates 75th Anniversary During Impact Week
The week of November 14 marks Franklin Templeton’s 75th Anniversary – an important date in the firm’s history. Community engagement has long been a part of the company’s core values and it’s fitting to celebrate this important milestone by giving back to our communities.

- $75,000 in donations to charities: Employees will vote to select three organizations to receive a donation of US$25,000.
- 7,500 trees planted: Franklin Templeton will sponsor the planting of 7,500 new trees around the world where they are needed most.
- 75 simple ways to make an impact: a call-to-action for all employees to easily participate in Impact Week. It’s a selection of simple ways for employees to give back including community service, acts of kindness, and green environmental actions.
