Conrad N. Hilton Foundation

Conrad N. Hilton Foundation

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation was established in 1944 by hotel entrepreneur Conrad Hilton. Its board includes multiple family members across generations, with Linda Hilton as current Chair and Justin McAuliffe as Vice Chair. The foundation maintains a net-zero headquarters campus in Agoura Hills completed in 2012 and sold its prior Westlake Village property in 2025. Deployment spans public equities, private equity, venture capital, and real estate. Confirmed positions include long holdings in iShares Core S&P 500 ETF reported in 2025 13F filings and limited partner stakes in Japan Industrial Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, and Bain Capital Ventures. Geographic exposure covers the United States, Japan, Uganda, and Haiti through both fund commitments and direct holdings. The foundation also maintains a 44-acre Agoura Hills campus and funded the Barron Hilton Pioneers of Flight Gallery at the National Air and Space Museum. The foundation employs no disclosed investment staff count beyond the Chief Investment Officer role. It participates in The Giving Pledge and the SDG Philanthropy Platform. October 2025: Sponsored the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize Ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria New York honoring Mines Advisory Group. Additional service providers include State Street Bank and Trust as custodian and PIMCO as an investment manager. Governance remains anchored in family board control across three generations while separating grantmaking vehicles such as the Conrad N. Hilton Fund for Sisters from the main endowment. This structure allows continued family oversight of both investment policy and program focus without external LP pressure.
