What Korn Ferry Charitable Foundation does
Mission
The foundation's mission is to help people exceed their potential. Whether that is in the boardroom, the classroom, or their living room. That means providing help, support, and inspiration for people who need it most, providing direct relief to those affected by a natural disaster, funding scholarships and programs, and offering grants to charitable organizations working to enhance our communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $10k to $1.1M (+11076%).
How it's funded, over time
