The Anschutz Foundation

The Anschutz Foundation

Philip F. Anschutz founded The Anschutz Foundation in 1984. The foundation operates as the primary grantmaking arm tied to Anschutz family wealth generated in oil and gas. It functions independently from the family's operating companies and other foundations such as the Anschutz Family Foundation. The foundation allocates capital through direct grants rather than fund commitments or co-investments. Its disclosed holdings include a 3.21 percent allocation to private equity. Named assets under foundation or family control encompass the Navarre Building in Denver, the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, and the Anschutz Engineering Center in Colorado Springs. Geographic focus remains concentrated in Colorado with limited activity elsewhere in the United States. The foundation reports no dedicated investment staff count. Additional family vehicles include the Anschutz Family Foundation and the Foundation for a Better Life. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Brown Brothers Harriman serves as investment advisor and KPMG as auditor. Governance stays within the Anschutz family, with Philip F. Anschutz as founder and chairman, Christian P. Anschutz as president, and multiple family members holding vice president roles. This structure keeps decision rights inside the founding family without external investment committees or succession vehicles disclosed.
